Boat Builder Central

:wink: On the north shore of the st Laurence seaway (in the Port Cartier area)if you go fishing inland,and you are slowly trolling for trout along the shores of the lake; and you ate a banana as part of your breakfast.. you will become the favorite victim of skeeters and black flies Why I dont know,...

When I was mentioning flat GV 13 was more or less a general idea.You dont necessarily have to bend the ply to make the a wave cutting curve,to cite a couple of examples check out Jim Michalacks Allans boat and Twang, odd looking boats, but in the general idea of what I'm looking for.I am not adept o...

Close but not it ,to big, and the boat is a sharpie I like the bow of the garvey better,wider entrance to the boat.Where I use them theres no docks, launching ramp is just a clearance in the forest so that you dont have to pull your boat through the trees...thats why I dont want it too wide yet not ...

Its me again,forgot to mention about dims. something with a 48inch flat bottom with a beam around 60 inches.Dont want something to big( 14 ft ish or so) as the boat will be trailered from lake to lake on VERY rough roads....sorry for the double post on the same subject !guess the cofee hasnt fully k...

Just looking for the simplest portable fish finder.I will be moving it from boat to boat ....on some of the lakes where I go fishing, you have to rent the parcs boats; its their way to limit the amout of boats on the lakes...you supply the outboard motor,so Im looking for something thats very mobile...

Thanks Jaques,didnt know how to access it.It is a very easy way to make a set of oars,without busting the bank...I will post a comment when I am done with them.The pictures of how to build them were well done, and worth a million words... very much appreciated Mike

Started on a set of oars today,found a oar making site on the net last night.Be dogone if I can find it again,but it directed me to Bateau2.com tried to dig it up today but cant seem to be able to.Doesnt really mater tough,I printed the page last night...Went and got some beautiful straight grain fi...
