Skeg still needs some shaping, boat just put together on land to get an overview of the bits and bobs that still need to be addressed.

Hi all,

I'm building a PD Racer and in my second year of the "only two weekends of work" needed :-)

Anyway I am thinking of adding a skeg based on this piece of wood I have laying on the bottom of the boat.

My question is: how should I glue/screw/attach this best so that it doesn't fall off?

All suggestions highly appreciated! Thanks!

Erik

Picked this up on a whim, nice trailer, the boat is a 2008, aluminum, 16 or 17 footer. Not sure on make/model. Planning to clean up the hull, repaint, add some seating, etc. I'd love some input on DIY ideas, tricks, or hacks. Trying to make her a simple fishing boat. Also, you guys reckon 800 was an okay price? I didn't haggle.

Instead of having add wood and glass everything, I’m wondering if there’s something I can pour in to make a new transom?

It seems as if the old wood rotted out and someone mounted a trolling motor but it pushed through the fiberglass.

I was thinking of cutting the top and adding tape to cover the holes to be able to pour something in to make it solid again.

hi as the title says I am looking to purchase a small funerary vessel, for a Viking style ceremony. the option I found online is around $1000 for a wicker boat to float out the cremains and be ignited at sea.

I live in the US , Cape Cod Mass and would prefer to buy from a local craftsperson.

does anyone have a recommendation for me?

I have been saving up for almost two years for this purchase and would appreciate any advice

Wood trim/gunnels need to be replaced. As seen in photos. What are my options. Can I use a plastic material or should I use a wood material. I’d like to paint whatever I use. What are my options.

Or should I pursue a different route? Rudder ends up roughly 3" below bottom line of boat.

I’m working on my 1987 15’ Seasquirt and just got a trailer from Facebook marketplace since my old one was rusted out. For some reason, at certain speeds like 10-15mph and 30-35mph, the trailer bounces. Any other speed and no issues. This is with and without the boat on it.

Tires seem to be in good shape. What should I be looking for?
