Chuck You have to do at least one frito pie :lol: on your bike trip. Ron

Sparky I have been reading a lot of the trips they do on that site , There are some crazy folks on there and way tougher than me. Of course I am reading about the tadpole trike bikes. Ron

Chuck You might enjoy looking around this site. Just click on the kind of bike you have and they have journals about equipment and touring and camping from one day up to several years on the road. Ron https://www.crazyguyonabike.com/

Chuck I sure like what your doing to your bike. Ron

No I didnt miss the point, every boat I listed were full strippers not ss@g. Ron

Jack That was a good question ,It made me start thinking about the builders that I have meet face to face and seen there boats first hand,Out of the 25 or so I can remember I dont know a single one that uses the bead and cove, maybe it is a local thing. They all use a block plane and sander...

Jack are you familiar with the builders here in Texas or just being a hotshot. I will answer your question One you know is darrel , gave his bits away after thirty minutes he builds a tough good looking boat Gerald , an accomplished builder of 50 plus years He has built more boats than anyone...

Swampwood this isn't the first time but I don't agree with you. As far as I am concerned it is a waste of time and most of the builder I know feel the same way Ron

That guy does a nice job , there is just a couple things I disagree with him on ,cove and bead isnt worth the trouble in my opinion, and putting 2 layers of 3 ounce glass on the bottom is heavier than a single layer of 6 ounce on the bottom and 3 ounce on the side is where you are going to...

Mick When I was down there visiting a friend he use to catch them and pop the big claw off and release them, is that what you do or do you eat the whole crab? Ron

Thats living right Ron

Dan 3/16 is what I normally wind up with and your right Chuck is a master at building light boats,but he has too. Ron

I should have added this my seat is set at 9 inches and it is stable enough to throw a cast net sitting at that height . Ron

Now this is my personal findings and dealing with the racers I have been around. Unless you plan to try rolling I wouldn't worry about the padding for bracing . The most efficient stroke is a high stroke and to paddle that way in the T-V you need a high seat. You transfer more power to the...

As Matt stated the epoxy will make the grain jump. Hell of a good job on your first boat. Ron

Not near that simple Jack ,nor is the death of a young early twenties paddler from drinking too heavy. not a light hearted moment at all. Ron
