Thought this was really cool:
A buddy of mine here in town is 7 months into the build of his fishing boat. It's made from mahogany and yellow pine and some other wood that I can't remember right now. He has a 60hp Yamaha with a jet drive ready to mount. He says it should float, and start off, in 4" of water.
I thought it was way to pretty to fish out of but he swears that's how he is going to use it. I'm thinking of asking him if he will make me a fancy dingy, but I would have to keep it covered somehow or the sun would destroy the finish.
My pics don't do it justice. 23' long. Wood is glassed over. Has stainless steel runners on the bottom so he can beach it.
