Josh replied to Roger Rippy's discussion 'Beginning work on my new boat - 1994 Drifter built by Stuart Williams'
I ordered my in-floor anchor setup (Bo's Anchor Systems) from Boulder Boatworks...seemed to be the cheapest price I could find. They state they have any/all of the Bo's components to do whatever type of anchor setup you need. Another good…
Josh replied to Roger Rippy's discussion 'Beginning work on my new boat - 1994 Drifter built by Stuart Williams'

Josh replied to gs zoll's discussion 'Scarf joints'
I too was worried about cutting the scaft joints when I first started my build a few years back. I ended up purchasing the west systems scarfing jig the mounts to the bottom of a circular saw. It took a bit to make sure the measurements were correct…

Don Wakefield said… Great Looking boat Josh -- my next boat project will be a stitch and glue -- looking at this picture..... is the floor the inside of the bottom plywood??
