It has Started!!!!!

[Phil Nowack]

I sold my TDB and motor on Saturday. Bought my plywood for my Scaup today from LL Johnson. Great price and friendly! Shipping was very economical!!!! Just needs to warm up... hit -21 on the way into work this morning!


We need to have a summer get together so everyone can tell me what I should have done differently!

 

[Steve Sanford]

Phil~

You missed an opportunity....I'm pretty sure many of us on duckboats would be thrilled just see one photo of the pile of lumber - even under a tarp!

Looking forward to your build,

SJS

 

[Paul F Boundy]

Phil, Congrats on the sale and I am looking forward to this build! Will it be similar to Eric's or are you changing things up.

Best - Paul

 

[David Robinson]

Phil,

You've got guts! Good luck and make it water tight

 

[Phil Nowack]

Steve... I have not received the wood yet... I will post pictures!

 

[Tom Russo]

Good luck and enjoy your build!

Tom

 

[Phil Nowack]

Paul, It will look much like a TDB 17 Classic when I am done with it. I am also putting the motor on the stern, not an inset motor.
David, Guts? for the -21.... or boat build? wood floats.. doesn't it? LOL

 

[Tom Rowe]

This is gonna be an awesome thread...

 

[Brandon Yuchasz]

Phil.
Congrats your going to have fun and frustration.. don't forget to setup a chair!

 

[Tom Scholberg]

Way to go! Another "next last boat build" heehee. It really is a good thing there is no perfect duck boat. Just had that conversation this AM with Paul W.

 

[Bob Monteith]

This is gonna be an awesome thread...

My sentiments exactly, looking forward to seeing it.

 

[Joe Friday]

I look forward to watching your build, Phil. Maybe I can get Jeff Baxter to tune it, also!

 

[Phil Nowack]

You need to have a Harley in it for Baxter to be interested! Haha

 

[jeff tarr]

So what type of marine plywood did u choose for your project?

 

[Phil Nowack]

Meranti Hydrotek BS1088

 

[jeff tarr]

So is that an AA grade or AB. Grade.

 

[Phil Nowack]

Is marine graded that way? I don't know, but based on using this previous usage, I would say AA

Phil,
Instead of a late summer day at Lacrosse, maybe we should substitute an early spring work day at your place. It could be a BYOS event. (That would be a Bring Your Own Sander/paper event)

[Phil Nowack]

Dave that may be the best idea that you have ever had! I am a son of a b**** to work for though

Nutz???? I thought this was a duck boat building site. Boz, I hope you can make it to this year so you can see this boat
