Love it. If I had just won a lottery jackpot, I'd buy property on the river - maybe Cathlamet or Knappa/Brownsmead area - and park her at the dock for one of our kids.

Congrats. Looking forward to seeing her.

Looks like one of the Jeff Spira designs. A smaller v-bottom dory. Too small for that center console, in my opinion, but yes it looks to be in good shape. If it comes with the Honda30... it's a bargai

Same with this David. I've been fighting off a head cold the babies brought over... and it doesn't look like I'll be well enough to inflict myself on a group of Coots. Hope everyone has a grand time!!

I didn't open this thread until now because I figured is was just a warning not to go into the 'Desdemona Club' (aka The Dirty D) while in Astoria on Friday... or another tale about pulling Charlie ou

I agree... way too much good stuff to let the little stuff detract. Interesting signs of the the times & the culture, though. Haven't finished it yet, but read the bit last night about taking the kids

And they are the working class. Last night, I read LFH's clueless classist complaints about how most 'modern day' boathands & captains were out to gouge their owners to the hilt, and how easy their li

I'm just rereading it also. About halfway thru. I had forgotten how good it is. About the time I cracked it, John W, said he was revisiting it also. Looking forward to hearing his thoughts also. Maybe

And it's a very good point. I've shed tears as friends shops burned down because someone left oily rags wadded up in a corner somewhere. Some dump them into pails of water, so oxygen can't get to them

When I mentioned that only one firm these days offered TRUE boiled linseed oil... that was the firm. There may be some specialty firms, but you won't find them on the shelf at your local hardware stor

Yes, the 'full-saturation' approach works nicely if one can manage it. They used to do the same thing with wooden block cheeks. In more modern days, there are 'artsy' builders of wooden lampshades who

And, neither raw nor any variety of 'boiled' actually hardens. At best it gets 'more solid'... sort of a gummy texture when exhumed. No matter HOW long one waits. AFIK, there's only one supplier these

I use very little pine tar, but also get mine from American Rope & Tar (John K's link). Not a big fan of boat soup because it never totally polymerizes, and will leach back out on a hot day - leading

Nice. If it's the lathe I remember... it is a good one. His first bargain lathe purchase was a dud, bur after I critiqued it, he found a much better rig. If that's the one he's passing one, someone wi

Brian's boat, iirc, has sitting headroom. But getting in and out required crouching, or hands&knees as I recall. Nicely set up inside for cruising and dockside life. Ergonomics very good. Craftsmanshi

Here's wishing him fair winds and following seas wherever he shall voyage from here.

Here ya go... the listing is active. Looks even better in the fotos - all cleaned up and decluttered - than when it was occupied -- https://www.redfin.com/OR/Molalla/32553-S-Dhooghe-Rd-97038/home/1657

Sure -- Between Molalla & Colton. On Dhoogie Rd. South of Hwy. 211. At the top of the hill, just South (uphill) of Graves Quarry.

I dunna know. In all the hubbub, I lost track. I share your fears.
