Hi Wooden Boat folks. I was given 4 sheets of 3/4 marine Plascore by a guy who started a Jason Cajune boat, but could not finish it due to being transferred away for work. I really have no use for…Continue

Kurt Selisch replied to Peter Honsberger's discussion Would love help identifying this boat
"Does not look like an Oregon drift boat design. Interesting the frames are notched and go over the gunnel. Pretty much all Oregon boats have an inside and outside gunnel. The inside gunnel is run over the frame to create a handrail which is…"

Kurt, Bryan Sohl here. Thinking about you and your family a lot. My old drift boat, 22-23 years old now has a ton of dry rot, because I used it so much and left it outside during fishing season. A carpenter buddy of mine was going to take it on as a "remodel project" , but we could just stick a screwdriver through the wood in so many places. So I have gotten, with much sadness given the sentimental value of the old boat, a new boat, that is a Don Hill (much like a Taman, 17 1/2 x 54" , that I found nearly done on Craigs list , for $2000 . It is very good quality, not quite the same as the old boat. Interestingly , the boat looks a lot like this boat, that I can't believe I found had your name attached. I have a question. The guy who build it put a hole 2/3 of the way up the transom , like this, http://www.woodenboatpeople.com/photo/img-1382-1?context=latest , what do you think of that type of anchor system? Hope you and family are well. Have a hard time getting Rector to go fishing given his young kids, but I fish a lot with Gary Shelton who just moved to Jackson Hole. Take Care, Bryan

Thank you but I think I will pass on this one, really prefer a 14 footer, you don't happen to have any plans for the 14 footer do you?
Thanks again
