The next project..... Arthur Armstrong Blackjack

Humm, Rich, how will this information be used against me?

1. Sam Hunt BBSB Sailing displacement hull (1950s vintage)
2. Devlin Design Scaup (1990s vintage)
3. Dodge and Krowl Ice Scooter (1905)
4. Devlin Design Cackler on Steroids (Dave Clark built, 3/4" bead and cove cedar, bare hull) Looking for a new home if anyone has a need!
5. Cedar Strip canoe (1970 vintage, built in Maine)
6. Phoenix Poke Boat(s) 12ft kayaks
7. Arthur Armstrong Blackjack (1990)

I am down from my all time high, and the armada has shrunk.....

a couple years ago I had a Higbee Pond Box, a Susquehanna Roll Boat, a Susquehanna sneakboat, and a Kalash Layout all in my fleet too.

The Kalash was Rufus', but I had possession. That recently went to NE PA. The Pond Box is in MA, the Rollboat, SE VA, and the sneakboat is in FL.

Honestly, I think I am about there.... I have boats that will scratch all the itches.

The Scooter doubles as a layout.
The Scaup allows me to host others.
The Blackjack will be my shallow/salt marsh boat.
The Poke boats are summer paddle primarily.
The canoe will be a Opa/Grandsons project in a few years

The Sam Hunt BBSB will be what the boys learn to sail in perhaps.

The only thing that does not have a purpose is the Dave Clark built Cackler. I envisioned that as a tender/camper hull, but really would love for someone to come get it and do something with it. I don't think I will.
 
Eric, if I was honest, there are several more boats that I no longer have..... that could be on the list...

A 16ft Plywood garvey that was my first duckboat.... some 30+ years ago.
A Herters Duck Goose boat
A Wilderness Systems Chesapeake kayak
A SportsPal canoe, with layout seats, spud poles, and camo cover
A Devlin Black Brant II that I got from a Duckboats member, and handed off to another
A Glastron tri-hull I bought to get a good deal on a motor for the 16ft Garvey, ended up moving the motor back and forth so we had a tubing boat in the Summer.

That is all I can remember right now....With Maria, I found if you have enough that she can't keep track, that is best. She has no desire to poke her head into my boat tents.
 
A Delaware Ducker was on my wish list, in fact I have a set of study plans printed and they used to be on the wall of my office, along with similar plans for a Mellonseed. Just don't think they are a priority anymore.
