Building a boogie board
So I've got some leftover divinycel, glass cloth, and epoxy. Any reason this couldn't be used to build a boogie board for my kids? Anybody done this?

Cutting foam core- safety measures?
I'm using foam core to rebuild my Banana River and am about to start cutting foam for the interior of the hull. I know I need to wear safety goggles to prevent dust from getting into my eyes and a respirator to make sure I don't inhale it but do I need a tyvek suit or the like? It's standard 1"...

Re: Project hull bottom has a bow in it- how to remove
Thanks for the tips. For some reason the pics wouldn't load but I believe I've got this issue fixed. The bow in the bottom, not the pics. The bottom of this hull is practically a zero deadrise but there are 3 longitudinal strakes. The main keel and poling strakes on either side. Each one is about 1....

Project hull bottom has a bow in it- how to remove
So I’m rebuilding a ‘79 Banana River Skiff which is basically the predecessor to the modern Dolphin Super Skiff Renegade. It supposed to have about a 2-degree deadrise bottom but after doing all the demo I’ve found it has a bit of a bow in the bottom from sitting on a poorly fitted trailer for years...

Alternatives to marine-grade plywood
I was discussing the whole boat building enterprise with my brother-in-law and as he has a decent amount of experience w/ fiberglass, resins, epoxies, etc. (he knows the folks over at West System really well) and he brought up the idea of using the hard, closed-cell foam product divinycell instead o...

Questions about an FS18 build for a 1st timer
OK, so I've decided that the FS18 is the best for my needs of a poling skiff for the back lakes and bayous here in Texas but have some questions first. 1) rounded chine vs. hard chine? Does keeping a hard chine have any positive affect on the boat's stability? Is the rounded chine harder to build th...
