Pretty pretty little rapid robert...... and great picture of kids. Thinking that the oar stops/sleeves might be on backward??

I used to see similar boats on the upper Teton between Victor and Driggs, ID. The guides from the Teton Valley Lodge used to use them there. Anyone know if they still do?

Ukuleles and Wooden Boats! Two of my favorite things. I love the looks of the skiff. Very nice!

Chris looks great! Teach those boys how to row, you will have many years of guide service. I made my oars 8' 6" and they work well with my RR.

Any concern about epoxy's 24 hour "chemical bond" window? Or do you try to cut out the…

Chris Patterson replied to Steven Miller's discussion 'Stitch and Glue questions'
Yeah, I think that is somewhat accurate. I have only ever done stitch and glue but my feeling is that the frames themselves give a framed boat a lot of their rigidity.
I built four little 8 ft rowboats (one for each child) as practice boats before…

I used plastic electrical wire ties with the tie and tag end to the outside. Once the inner fillet was glassed and cured I flipped the boat and cut the plastic ties flush with the plywood. That leaves a small amount of plastic inside the fillet. I…
