So, it's been over ten years since we could have a nice discussion about
"crappy little boats"... so... If you could build one small boat in your back yard, what would it be? What material, and where would you use it, why, etc.....??? Scotty, from Rottedboats.com:) |

Would oakum be appropriate? I would use it wherever it is safe to do so. Why? Because boating is fun. |

That boat, tended could last for decades... Haven't checked prices lately, but I bet you could build it for under a grand... |

What material, and where would you use it, why, etc.....??? Scotty, from Rottedboats.com:) I'd like to build a scale model (12 feet) of the PT 109. Keel would be Douglas Fir (cause a friend has some Kants just laying around) and Marine Plywood. Engine would be a weed wacker engine. I've seen these done already. The Operator sits down inside the Boat invisible to the Public, looking out through stratigically placed "peep holes". Other models done have been Battleships, and Nuclear Submarines. There ARE picture available. |

Scotty, from Rottedboats.com:) I'm fairly handy but not up to a task like that but I would like a "car-topper" for two for fishing the small lakes without trailer access. |

Here is my version... http://smallboats.com/images/current...ter_05_400.jpg Weighs about 80 pounds, ten feet long. |
