    1965 26' Owens Flagship restoration underway.

    Exactly! What could possibly go wrong? Ok so update. I got my bilge pumps and switches. Still need to get a couple reducers and short chunks of hose to get from the 1" and 1 1/8" outlets of the new pumps down to my existing 3/4" hoses and through-hulls. (Not going to worry about replacing those...

    1965 26' Owens Flagship restoration underway.

    Thanks Ned! I appreciate it more than you know. Yeah I'd love to drive it to the boat yard. But the marina looks awful dang narrow in this view out the back of the boat house. Especially since I have in fact not piloted a single screw inboard since the '80s when I was working in dredging and...

    1965 26' Owens Flagship restoration underway.

    In other news, the forward 3' are no longer my chief concern. I finally found some rot! It's on the port side right about amidships right at the water line. I fully expect to find more, once more of the interior of the boat is exposed. Discovering it was a bit deflating at first but it wasn't...

    Project Fuggly - No Longer Fuggly And Splashed!!!!!!

    Oh man, Always sorry to hear about that. I presume you're uploading straight from a phone or tablet. I don't know how to help with that. It took me for ever to figure out which way was up with my phone. Now I always upload them to my computer, fix it there and then upload it. I hope you don't...

    Thanks mickyryan!

Yes I believe you are...

    1965 26' Owens Flagship restoration underway.

    Greetings everyone! I haven't been around for a while. I was fairly active on the Johnson/Evinrude outboard forum a few years ago. And I had a project going on this forum about my '83 ClackaCraft drift boat that I was/am restoring. I kind of shelved it because I couldn't manage to get a carport...

    Big wooden boat project [Splashed Sept 2017]

    Greetings all! Been away from iboats for a number of years. I was somewhat active on the Johnson & Evinrude outboards forum and had a project going on this forum that embarrassingly has stalled. But I must say this thread and this project has been a huge inspiration for me in a new, much more...

    And now for something completely different!

    Re: And now for something completely different! Making slow progress. Have the fiberglass portion of the work pretty much done.On the spots on the floor where the stiffeners were removed I added one layer of mat and one layer of roving. And then coated all the new stuff with Tap Plastics...

    And now for something completely different!

    Re: And now for something completely different! Thanks oops, woodonglass, friscoboater, Yacht Dr. ondarver, et-all(too many to name). Been doing a bunch of reading. Making slow progress. Got the PB mixed up and applied;. Got it all ruff 'n' scuffed;. If I had it to do over I would do...

    And now for something completely different!

    Re: And now for something completely different! Here is pic of the transom work so far;. I'm using 1/2'' Marine mahogany plywood for the core and the outer wood. I cut the inner fiberglass off on both the top and bottom and then dug out the old soggy foam and cleaned out the void. Then I cut...

    And now for something completely different!

    Well, a little different anyway. I'm doing a restoration on my drift boat. A 1983 14' ClackaCraft. In comparison to the other restos we see on here this is a very simple project. But since the pacific nw in general and driftboats in particular are severely under-represented on here I thought...

    Concerning capacity plates.

    Hi all! Fairly new here. I have an '83 14' ClackaCraft drift boat that I got in the mid '90s. ClackaCraft history my boat model is the one at the bottom. I'm now going through the process of getting it back on the water after it's been sitting for almost 10 years. I'll be needing to do some...
