From my experience a man can never have too many tools or
BOATS! We have a large shop full of every tool imaginable...at least from my
point of view. Stan enjoys woodworking and can make just about anything out of
wood. In fact he can figure out how to make or fix anything, he even built our
home almost 30 years ago. Now with Google and YouTube it's even easier.
Stan has always wanted to build a boat, he's had plans for a Jon Boat for years...probably decades. Our shop is full of scrap wood
and almost everything else needed to build a boat, plus he needs a project to
keep him busy while we're not cruising. Stan also loves to fish and enjoys
going in his Hobie kayak, but when the weather gets cold it's not as enjoyable.
It's hard not to get a little wet in a kayak…this boat will give him another
option.
Here are a few pictures of the project so far. He plans to use the outboard we have on the sailboat, which has a long shaft. So Stan had to
make a few modifications to the transom so it can accommodate the motor. The only supplies he needed to buy were a few sheets of marine plywood,
Glidden Polyurethane paint and extra screws. I'll post more photos when the
project is complete.
