JEM Watercraft

the town itself of texas is ok the river has flooded all the farms along the river including the one that i work on.and a lot of out of town small acreage houses i watched this morning as our years production of hay floated past town 500 ton of big bales and thousands of small bales washed away from...

mick i have had a look for those " made in canada " paddles you told me about a while back but have not found em yet .
i have looked in bcf and one other joint cant remember the name of the place , what places have you seen them in .

i will be watching so keep us updated . this is what my next build is going to be , but i am going to wait just a bit see if matt gets the shorter one on the drawing board . but if i have the swamp girl all done dusted and i get itchy i might have to build a long one . still have to pickup those ced...

ok when is thanks giving , i might have to hold off on my next build until then .
i was going to start the next one as soon as the swamp girl has been wet , only because of build space.

well i am around 210 -220 so that would leave me 80 to play with ,300 should be plenty i should think . my main thing is not to much draft in the water but keep good stability . vertical take off would be handy but i doubt i could flap my arms fast enough . i dont want to push , if it dont happen it...

but thinking about it , would the shorter boat sit a lot deeper in the water with about 250 pound load because i also would like draw very little water for some of the shallows in my river , so if you took 18 inches off the TV how much more water would it draw .

thats what i need a shorter than 15 ' TV because i will only be carrying a bit of fishing gear and me (i am 98kg) and can only go out on the water for a few hours most of the time no long trips or camping gear 13.5' x 29"OR 32 " more handier for throwing on the top of the ute

ok so its only a flat bottom then no Vee ,its a bit hard to tell from the pics i saw but i thought it looked to have a bit of a vee in it , no probs thanks .

can you tell me what was or is the boat that was referred to back in 2007 as the P-5 .
is it still around with another name .
just looking back through older posts on sparkey's and i like the look of that boat .
is it the tv with bigger decks .

where i am up to now. been a bit busy with tractor work the last week making hay , but then we got some more rain so i got to attack the swamp girl again. i have found that for me the best way to do the seams was to just do a bit at a time , get a section to where i was happy with it then wood flour...
