Re: [bolger] Re: Scow plans?
Take the rocker out of the Brick (for power use) and I think you get Skimmer. I have cut the rocker
off of my foam brick and hope to eventually ad a cutwater like a Bee. Clyde

Isn't the Brick the ultimate small scow solution?

Forgive if this is a double post. I lost track of my last attempt.
You might try the scow built by Andrew Gibbons (sp) at
http://www.angib.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/scow0.htm
as for bolger designs you might stretch a Skimmer from 8 to 10-12
feet.
a scow is extremely simple, and I am sure were you to strike out on
your own, you would do fine. The perfect hull type for the use you
describe. Good luck and keep us posted.

I've been thinking about making a quick-and dirty scow, or other flat-
bottomed stable boat for rowing in our local pond. I'd like it to
have room for seating 2 adults plus 2 or 3 kids. Something good for
lazy rowing, maybe some fishing, etc. No need for speed. Safety is
first, comfort second. Basically just a boat to leave by the pondside
for everyone to use.
Is there a Bolger design that comes close? Anyone know of non-
Bolger candidates? I might even just fiddle around in Hulls and
design my own -- but borrowing some good ideas might help toward that
end.
All best,
Garth
