Otherwise I guess I...
My aluminum boat needs a new floor and I'm mulling my options. Looking for opinions or experience as boat flooring is new to me. Boat is a 14.5' Grumman aluminum fishing boat, so this is a relatively simple project. The original floor was plywood and carpet, rotted away now. Previous owner...

Earlier this week there was posted a link that showed a sail boat being hand built in Ireland. I watched it and would like to see it again. I need help finding it as I cannot find it myself. Thanks, Dino Drosas

Is there anyone that might be able to give me any insight in building a wood strip kayak.
Maybe you built one or know someone that has. I'm in the Statesville area and want to get started on one this spring
Thanks

A small "picture" of a sail boat made by scrollsawing red oak and poplar pieces. The red oak portion of the boat is one continuous piece. The poplar pieces were cut to fit the openings. The background is baltic birch ply and the frame is red oak. Finished with tung oil

This was my first attempt at a cedar planked boat. It still needs final sanding. Length is 12ft. beam 4ft. 16" depth. My ex-wife confiscated it so it now resides in GA. I will be building a few more boats as time allows.
