I haven't done it, but have been interested. (I think I'm intersted in about everything) Wooden Boat Magazine had a design contest a few year ago for a Subabu Auto engine powered boat. I got the

I was just readin that issue last night. That's exactly the reason why I asked the question earlier. the artic;le is from 1997. The author said you could pick up a subaru flat four for about $400

What type of propeller drive do they use? Outdrive, straight, etc. And what do they use for the exhauset/cooling? That's usually a complicated, expensive part. Pat why I said you bunch

"Log bronc" sounds right. Perhaps this is the ultimate expression of the concept (found in an old Mariner's Catalog): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MessaboutW/files/BumperBoat.jpg I've been meaning

I have my "Official Plans" for my GP-16. I'm gonna actually start cutting wood one of these days. I want to know how it will end up befor I start, and be as "Comfy" and "User Friendly" as it can

Just a reminder that a bunch of (mostly Bolgerian) boat nuts will be meeting at the Chesapeake Light Craft booth at the PT festival Saturday morning at 10:00. We'll probably repair to a nearby bakery

I've put some pictures from the Elk City run Dick Mitsch, his brother Bob and myself made in early August into the files

Had to tell someone. The Baby Tender is finally done. I am only waiting for my mother-in-law to finish the lining for the matress,etc. All construction and finishing is done, and it is standing

Pour me a big one when you find it. Congratulations. Nice project. From your writings and the pics it must be beautiful. Get'm into small boats as soon as possible. Kinda the same bobbing they's

Pictures Don't know how strapped for dough you are, but if you can come up with some extra, this would be a great time to buy a Digital Camera. Prices aren't too bad for a good one, and you will

Beautiful Pictures John. Makes me even more sorry that I missed it. Pat brother Bob 20Bay/ElkCity/ can be virtues.

John, et. al Wonderful photos of the Elk River trip. Very sorry I was unable to join you all. Jack

Congratulations Chris! One launching down, only one more to go... -- John <jkohnen@...> http://www.boat-links.com/ The problem with

I'm sorry you missed it too, Pat. I needed some ballast to keep Pickle's bow down. <g> -- John <jkohnen@...> http://www.boat-links.com/

That's what I thought on the side tiller. (But what I think and what's "Right" aren't always the same. I guess I would look at it as if I were to take that side mounted tiller and just move it around

Has anyone used this program? There is a free demo available for IBM's. Pretty fun to play with, but I haven't decided if it's worth the 150$ price to get the functional version. With the demo,

I had a great time at the Wooden Boat Festival; good weather (though the winds were too light most of the time), good friends, and plenty of beautiful boats! I spent Saturday afternoon out on the

I've tried the Plyboats demo, I wasn't impressed. I admit that I didn't put a lot of effort into trying to figure it out, but then it shouldn't have needed so much work if it was any good. I felt
