Re: Digest Number 1240
I think if you are worried about items vanishing, an outboard is about
as attractive as you can get. I just made a dinghy that is really
plain looking (vertical sides, bow, and transom, totally symmetrical),
seems to row ok, designed for maybe 350lbs (including own weight).
With maybe 450 lbs it drags the bow and transom just a bit but still
rows ok. I could maybe find my notes and supply basic info. If you've
built something before that's probably enough. Debating nominal
charge, but it would NOT be much. See "squareboat dinghy" in bolger2.
You could also do Tortoise. Or Michalak's Moby Dink, tho that's not as
ugly.

Mike,
If I'm not being to bold, what is the size (hp) of that outboard?
I'll probably be on a mooring next year and will be building some form
of 'beach tender' for the Delaware River.
'Nymph' is maybe a bit 'too attractive' and I do have Skimmer plans . .
. maybe stretch her to 10 feet for balance.

If I'm not being to bold, what is the size (hp) of that outboard?
I'll probably be on a mooring next year and will be building some form
of 'beach tender' for the Delaware River.
'Nymph' is maybe a bit 'too attractive' and I do have Skimmer plans . .
. maybe stretch her to 10 feet for balance.
