gs zoll replied to Ryan M Geider's discussion 'Scarfing'

gs zoll replied to Shawn Jensen's discussion 'Alternatives to white oak for handrails, chines, etc??'

I am new to wooden boats and found this sight during research on drift boat building, I am a mechanic by trade and own my own repair shop. I got hooked on fly fishing in the summer of '09' and the next logical step was a drift boat. I am married with kids and my wife is cautiously supporting the idea of building a drift boat.
