That's what Farmall marketed as "Cultivision".

I researched it when I found it, but forgot. Wanna say it's a '34.

Sad news! When they were from Armalite (USAF MA1 survival rifle, AR7, etc) then Charter Arms ('Explorer' variants added), they were good. What kind of ammo were you running?

Man...bored and perusing old threads...found this. Here's my son & his....

Grew up with Farmall's (still have Grand-Daddy's first - '39 A model), but always loved those old green "thumpers".

Had a buddy of mine tell me, "Between Alzheimers and Parkinson's, I think I'd rather have Parkinson's....better to spill a little beer than forget where I left it!"

For a good mix of the "cheaper" paints/finishes with outdoor exposure, use some inexpensive car wax, or a small tarp, and store the boat in a somewhat shaded (at least through the hottest parts of the day) area. Good exterior house paints hold up well in exposure.

Re: 14" x 30" x 18 lb. Pirogue Multi-ribbed and crossframed makes the strength, for sure. Gotta be light!

Man, when a boat looks like furniture, ya know ya done good!

If it floats and paddles as good as it is "purty", then it's a humdinger!

I dry bend mostly, a little at time. Unless it's marine ply, wetting it wouldn't be the best. Now, I have taken a soaked towel to wet the "inside" and "outside" plies a tad to ease some stress if the fibres looked like they would "pull".

First, I'm not bustin yer chops, just offering constructive criticism, okay? The centerline I'm talking about is the fore/aft centerline, running from bow to stern. Looks like your stiffener runs along that line, which would put your weights to the side of centerline (no matter where placed) to...

Experiment with apple, peach, and other fruitwoods. You'll be amazed.

Well, put it in Poppa's pond Thursday! Karl is taking to the paddling very well...I just sat back while he went all over the pond. Had about a 5kt wind, so he got some good education on tracking and angling in all directions.

I can see a few minor problems with the test. 1. The model and weights are not representative of truly comparative bouyancy and loading. 2. Weight is not at fore/aft centerline, contributing to rolling moment. 3. No sides removes the corrective tendencies of those sides. What you'd need for a...

I know I promised pics, but sewer took a crap :wink: at my rental house. Been diggin' doo-doo and layin' pipe all weekend. Got the pic on the 'puter, just not on the net, yet.

Well, now....ain't you just the philos'pher! :wink:

Oh, I bet you do! 8)

Ah, I'll still teachable!

Boat is "finished" (I put that in quotes because I know we'll change/add something :lol: ) and started on paddles. Will have some pics up soon.
