Re: 4 stroke info for a 2 stroke guy

Re: Please Clarify Transom Rebuild Tutorial

I have seen some top quality glass men say smallest to largest and they had good reasons for going that way. I have seen others go largest first also with good reasons. The guy I have the most respect for is a largest first guy. So I do not think it matters all that much. We are not trying to get th...

Re: Panga 22

I have never been in a panga but those who have built them seem to be happy with them. Do a search for 22 panga and read what they have to say. Welcome to boat building and have fun along the way.
