Heres a look at the DIRTY. She should be in the water this weekend. Some video to follow.

Here are some pics of the Peapod, we just got the rub rails and one of the breasthooks in today.

Here are some pictures and video of the boat I have been working on in my spare time. Right side up ones will follow soon.

It was just primed yeasterday and in these photos i just finnished gluing up the skeg keel.

Where have I been

OK so. Its has been a long while since a good ol blog update. A lot has gone down. There is too much, so, I will sum up!

Launched the boat in May of 2010 great succes.

Moved to Maine to attend landing school and built a lovely Acorn skiff designed by Iain Oughtred see pics

And, while I have been toiling away up here I got started on a new personal project I am calling the BIG dIRTY! It is based on a design idea that Pete Culler discussed in an old magazine article about how to build a quick and dirty powerboat. I ran with the idea and made my own design around a sweet old lawn mower engine that I already had. So check the pics and vids, and I will try to make it less than 14 months between now and my next post.

Steering Healm

Ah yes. the steering gear bought for short monies on good old e-bay

Here we have some fine joinery
Sitting tall and proud the new console will allow me to control the boat and see over the bow at the same time. Such luxury!
Again
This seat will be notched to accept the console and will give me more space to move about behind it.

Ocean Bound

Such a proud and beautiful bow!

A bit messy from drilling holes for the seats.

Securely fastend to the trailer.

Sexy motor mmmm...

Aug 25th 2009 Boat leaves garage!

Well here we see her form the second floor porch. The trailer looked a lot bigger when there was no boat on it!
Oh! so gracefull.

It will look even better with that outboard on the back.

This picture looks a lot nicer the right way up.
