JEM Watercraft

I've always wanted to cut my joints in the shape of large puzzle pieces and use a dark colored filler as suggested to accentuate the cut on purpose. I had the boat named "Puzzled". Too bad it never left the depths of my head and put into action. :oops: I'm thinking it would give more surfa...

Thanks jimmy.

btw did that boat look anything like this? (my first build)

those tails sticking out the back acted like trim tabs to keep nose slap down and help with the weight of an oversized engine. I'm running with trim tabs on the back for that reason.

sorry for double posting but I would like to explain my desires for polyester resin when building a small boat. When I first decided to build, I was trying to get into a canoe on a budget. I had a lot of trouble deciphering why going through all the trouble to build a boat at the cost equal to buyin...

Everything jem said up there was spot on. Epoxy is a far superior product and if your looking for a long life product that will stay with you for years then I also reccommend epoxy. I've done most of my builds with what you describe. Cheap lumber and polyester resin. My experiance is however if you ...
