Hi Dave -- been wanting to get back to you with answer to your reply of my inquiry -- thanks for your advice about the Flathead below the dam and the upper Swan might be good floating venues. For this coming summer visiting daughters…

I did the exact same thing. I did it along every seam. Mostly to keep water from seeping into and under the area between the wood and frames. I think used a large syringe. But that was about 20 years ago....

Don Wakefield said… - Hi Dave - Don Wakefield here in Paradise, CA....... Nice looking boat that you have built. My daughter and family have a home on Finley Point just above Polson on Skidoo Bay... I go there every year for a family reunion. I want to haul my newly constructed drifter/jet sled up there and have some with the grand-kids. Thanks for the idea of running the Swan. Thought we might try the Clark Fork too - can you think of any more fun rivers up there??

- I know what you mean about the 1/4 ply. I have a 57 trojan that is 15' and has a 40 hp merc on it and it is also made of 1/4 ply. If I get it up on a plane it feels like its going to fly apart. It stays together though, so far. This was on whitefish, I bet that you careful on flathead. I was at the boat show this last august on sat. and the lake was really choppy, the wind was kickin and there were 5' waves. Good show though, i really like those big stancraft. they had one newer one that had 1200 hp. amazing. Did you catch the show?

- Hey David, nice 58, looks sweet. did you get it out on flathead much this year? Nice drifter too, that will be a blast on the main flathead. I finished my drifter in july and made 4 trips this summer, blankinship to cfalls was the maiden voyage. The north fork is my fav.
I'm working on a catspaw dinghy now (only 1/2 scale right now to figure out the round bottom thing)
