"The 1/4 Miler"

That's fucking heavy. You should sell it and buy a plastic one. Then after you only use it a couple of times, you won't feel bad when you see it gathering dirt and leaves in the yard.

Awesome work Red, thats going to be a killer rig.
I found this this past weekend for 150 and trying to work it into my budget. 14' long little sailboat that I could turn into a sweet little hunting rig.

And, what do you guess the finished weight will be?
same boat. Forward and aft

Never weighed her. But the original specs on the boat say 140 lbs. and not sure if you're clear, I didn't build this boat. It's an original two man Delashmutt II. I'm just doing alittle repair and preventative work to it

Gotcha. Those two pictures sure look different!

I was just talking to Red about turning a sailboat into a scull. That is identical to what I have...

unlike the cute little hybrid you built to load atop your mini van, this girl will hunt...a lot. My last two hunted...a lot. This one will hunt more. It won't start gathering leaves til next February.

The weights no issue. It'll be trucked or trailered. Not loaded on top of a mini van.

any chance you can trim that thing...lower it 6 inches?

by **Redbeard** » Wed Aug 13, 2014 7:33 pm

Done for today. Alls I got left tomorrow is alittle sanding, then maybe alittle touch up here and there. Later I'll drill the oar hole and build a shelf

I tossed around the color debate quite a bit and decided to go back to green

I imagine its possible. It would require some interesting cuts

I might make a suggestion on a paint scheme. You'll need some black, white, purple and pink paint.

by **assateague** » Thu Aug 14, 2014 10:13 am

"The Bruised Vagina", he should call it, with that paint scheme. Unless the name's already taken by your shotgun.

I don't see the humor here. This thread is devoted to documenting the restoration of a classic scull boat.

I know that you know but don't forget to glass the inside and edges of the oar hole............Ore hole, sounds nasty, are you sure it is ok to use such language? We are on our way to Super G rating.

by **Redbeard** » Thu Aug 14, 2014 9:54 pm

Thinking of cutting down one of these couplings to use as a flange for the boot
