Holy Cats, Brent!!!!  That thing's a cathedral.  Feels good to get her inside something doesn't it?  ...simply messing about in boats...Hats off to ya, brent.
My home has a keel.

Thanks Tony; it does.  :-)

This has been too long coming; we purchased #66 about 1-1/2 years ago and she still hasn't touched the water.


You know Bill, I've thought about leaving the shed after it's all done as winter storage. However, I purposely avoided the use of anything resembling a permanent foundation so that I wouldn't be tempted to let this project drag on for years!

The frames are standard 2x4's resting right on the ground. I'm not certain how long they'll last, but a year is all I need. I think ;-)

Looks great!
Do you guys have termites in that neck of the woods? Put something under the feet like a couple of layers of tarpaper or you might find out the hard way.
I wish my boat was in a shed instead of in the water , haven't set foot aboard in over 2 weeks. The shame of it all!!

A regular New England barn raising.

The Amish couldn't do better.

Mike,

We do have termites; never thought of tar paper--I'll give it a try.

BTW...I'd be willing to trade ya--#66 hasn't touched water in over twelve years :(
