Thank you ,    Looking at your turquoise 17' dory I almost painted the exterior of this one from the start

Hi Rick. I'm a new member, but have been following your build on the mini dory. You guys did a FANTASTIC job. I have built a 16' Don Hill from plans and now find myself looking to build exactly what you have done. Any chance you would share the side panel and bottom measurements? Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Hi Rick - thanks for the book/plans advice. Have already bought the book, glanced at the Rapid Robert plans, now reading from the front toward the back. What a great book, its already helped me. With some drafting ability myself I want to use my own lines and using Rogers how-to. I want to install a jetski motor in my Rapid Robert - I think replanting that propulsion system will be a bigger challenge than the boat building. Will just take my chances I guess to see where the waterline will end up. If all goes well - in about a year? I won't need to think about the shuttle business any more - just remember to head UP stream when starting the day! I'm doing surgery on a 96 Yamaha 760cc now to remove its innards so I won't get the new hole the wrong size.. Thanks for your help. Don

Yea that's great country. I hunt the other side of that range (the Idaho side) for Elk. Do you ever take a day or so to get on the river?

Cool. Thanks for the conversation.

When you added the extra length, did you have to change any of the bevels? I would like to build about like that, but about 17' long. The issue I am concerned with is the bevels. Any thoughts?

Rick,

I love your boat. Did you design it? What are the specs? I currently row a 16' Tatman, but am trying to find a design for a pram / skiff style boat. Any info you can offer would be great.

Thanks in advance,
