Colin, I am interested in either the oxford wherry or the expedition. What are the approximate build times for each boat? What is the delivery cost of a kit to Salem Oregon, 77302? Can I pick it up...

Well, after literal hours of searching, I found a mirage 180 kick up  w/turbo fins for $200 off. Success! 

Do you have much experience with the Mirage Drive? I fitted one in my CLC Mill Creek 16 and it was fantastic. The RowCruiser is a much larger boat, so I will be curious to see how it performs. The ...

Congratulations on your graduation!!Recently I started playing online slot machines on this site - https://slotscity.ua/slots , and this site is very simple and easy to play slot machines and I lik...

I know I'll want to reinforce it quite heavily to  redistribute the loads. But without a mirage drive in hand I'm stuck for now. Can't close the float chambers without reinforcing. Can't reinf...

Mirage drive / board case mocked up.    

It lasted one whole day before collapsing. Here is cradle Mk3. I definitely want to get in my boat, but I'm not sure about my weight unsupported by the water as well as my design skills

The two attached to the hull and the partial bulkheads are glued in. The rest are just there for moral support

More temporary than I had anticipated. 

I'm about finished with my daggerboard half. My plan is to use this in a mould to make a female copy. I'll use this as a sanding block when shaping my actual board. 

My idea to support the hull for the next operations was successful, kind of. Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution that works. I worked all day without the wooden risers. There was no...

Tomorrow may be the last chance at epoxy temperatures without heating my shed. So I got the hull flipped and the bench supports dry fit. 

I built this boat last summer 2023  and have used it this summer 2024 to learn how to row. Very enjoyable boat. You can come test it as it lives on the Columbia River. Asking $1800 Includes th...

Next milestone: zips removed and interior glassed and taped.

@Thomas Krische It was a little more effort for sure, but I think it was worth it. My hull will definitely require less fairing as a result.

Hi Scott, Yes, I would coat everything with epoxy. I'm just starting to design and build my sliding seat for a CLC Annapolis Wherry too. Would love to see pictures of what you did.   Steve

Beginnings of what I'm hoping to turn into a mirage drive / daggerboard box

Bow, transom, and second coat of epoxy complete. I'll come back tonight for the third coat. A question if anyone is reading. I've run out of the raka epoxy from duckworks, but I do have epoxy from ...
