This is a developing website but some pretty good stuff there already: http://butlerprojects.com/

Gosh. I went looking for an update on Jean, thinking it had been a couple of weeks since I had heard anything. This board is so active for the number of members. Anyway, Oldyaker, or whoever hears anything, please keep us informed and tell her we do miss her very much. Hope you read this...

Too good to resist, eh?

I am still trying to figure out what state that Matt is in....

For those of us who need reading glasses (The really small print in Chuck's message): Now I know why Jack needs two boats to take everything ...besides listing to that Cliffey guy.

I don't cartop so I don't really know. I would imagine it would be an easy car topper though given its shape and length. I use a truck bed extender (from harbor freight--about 30 dollars).

A few more observations about Toto: If I were building it again I would use the 4mm marine meranti/occume or, if going cheap, the 5.2mm exterior lauan. I used 6mm bs1088 marine meranti which is 5 ply and nice stuff but weighs about 25 pounds a sheet. Since toto uses about 2 1/2 sheets the...

Took the Toto out today for a couple of hours on a local lake of about 130 acres or so. Windy. some drizzle of rain, and a heavy ripple on the water. Smooth ride. You can hear a definite gurgle around where the deep V bow meets the flat spot of the bottom. Speeds seems good. I was not blown...

Hey! I resemble that comment! You don't work for BellSouth do you? My brethen geeks have me blocked too.

I tried the baked fish recipe at the top of this thread. Fabulous! Best baked fish I have done yet. I was a little leary of the mayonaise ingredient probably because I am not much of a cook but it pretty much cooks away. Probably just keeps things good and moist. Great recipe. Thanks...

A database of boat design reviews by builders is being built over at www.duckworksmagazine.com. I think the database is accessible even by non-subscribers but just in case I attached a cut and paste of the text from that database of one review of a Toto. Just thought someone might want to read...

Oops. Sorry about the websots/webshots thing. Went back and edited the link. Here it is again too: http://community.webshots.com/user/aub77

Thanks. I put a couple more pictures up but really you can't see much difference from the last two. I completed all of the coats of paint. Now I just need some warm weather and maybe I can get some water shots. http://community.webshots.com/user/aub77 The shot from the transom is a bit...

Added three photos to my webshots folder entitled Toto 2: http://community.webshots.com/user/aub77 I have one more coat on the inside and one more coat on the rubrails and I should be finished. The last two pictures reflect the current status. I should finish these coats tonight and then...

If anyone is interested in the Toto design they may want to take a look here: http://www.sailingwaters.com/boat/build/toto/buildtoto.html My own Toto is ready for priming which I hope to do this week. I have procastinated long enough.

Let me give some advice to you wannabe grits eaters: PUT SOME BUTTER AND SALT ON THEM!!!! Or if you want to nauseate us put some sugar on them and pretend they are cream of wheat or some other garsh-awful creation. By the way, you didn't add mushrooms from some Florida cow pastures to those...

I don't think Larsboat would be much more stable. It is still the same width and multi-chined. The bilge panels are the ones in the middle. They are the ones that have the big curves and the slight twist in them to form the bow. They are the most important in terms of looks since the...

No. I can't stand up in it. Michalak does say you might be able to stand up in his Pirauga but not in Toto. I do think it is more stable than Jacques' Cheap Canoe upon which the Yakoos are based. Unfortunately the weather and the death of my mother-in-law after 10 years of battling...

Oops. Didn't log in. That was me with the Ford comment. Got a new computer. Last one would stay up more than about 15 minutes. CPU needs replacing.
