It's nice to see people's thoughts and input. The project has lost a little bit of traction. In order to get the rigidity needed to support a 500 lb. load we would have to have mold in support structure which adds weight. I appreciate all the feedback and it's not 100% dead but I have a lot...

I thought I would give you an update. Roy, I think I shot my mouth off too soon. I got a little too excited with my preliminary calcs. Well, so far with the structure needed for 500lb., loading the analysis looks like it is going to weigh in the neighborhood of 95lbs. We had to put ribs in...

I appreciate the input and opinions. I had never heard of Creek Boats. Spent some time this morning looking at their boats. I did check out the Otter and it's 44 inches wide and weighs 115 lb., very stable boat from the videos and chat rooms. Thinking the catamaran style adds to the...

Well I may have lied on the weight. I originally calculated it at the thinnest thickness that I can mold it at. We made a model today and will run an analysis on the loading capabilities at various thickness. A lot of discussion today was for a thicker bottom and sides for abrasion. It...

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate everyone's input and look forward towards more responses. This is an idea I've been kicking around for some time. I relayed it to one of my raw material suppliers yesterday and they got really excited about it. Not because of the volume but it was so...

Hello Everyone, I don't get on here much and I hope I'm not breaking any rules below. I have a marketing question about the old Alumacraft Ducker. I was cleaning out the warehouse the other day and showed to another Duck Hunting buddy my Alumacraft Ducker. He got all excited about it and...

I never even realized they had aluminum oars until reading on here......But hey, just 3 days ago I didn't even know what I had. Got a call back from alumacraft, she said it was a '69. I tried to get more informations such as how many were produced, where it was sold, aluminum vs. wooden oars...

I have a call into Alumacraft regarding the SN 3371 and date of manufacture. I will probably mount a support for the ends for seating as not to stress bows. I have a buddy that wanted me to put a samll outboard on it. Took him out and had him oar it around. When he got back I asked him if he...

I got this funny kayak or canoe back in 1995, the guy I bought it off of was an older gentlemen that used it Duck Hunting many years ago on the mud flats up in Dakota (North or South Can't remember, Heck it could have been Wisconsin for all I know). He didn't want to sell it but after about an...
