    US Coast Guard 44'
    I saw this boat in Montauk, NY. she is called the rollover boat as she can right herself when rolled over or pitch-poled in heavy seas. https://uscg44363.com/portfolio/44-foot-motor-lifeboat/ The USCG would do routine rollovers just to train recruits. She could also survive a pitchpole!! They don't do that anymore as a rollover would cost over 10 K US The tragic demise of 44300, February 12, 1997, in she which survived three roll overs and a beaching with the engines still running I picked up a box of scrap from a partially completed build. This is a Scrap Build not a Scratch Build. There is enough template scrap left over, so i was able to fabricate the necessary parts. Time will tell Now that she is finished, a couple additions: Mast and running lights. Working radar Flags and decals of USCG Patches Water cooled ESC and Motors. I bought this vessel on a whim, I have grown to love her

    Irish Currach
    This is a model I picked up at a Tag Sale some years back. I think I paid $2.00 for it. It is as I bought it, I did nothing to it.

    Fantail Launch
    Fantail Launch Kit bought on ebay. Only problem was, the box only contained scraps and the plans. Being stubborn as I am I decided to build it any way The plans did not call for a mahogany deck, I decided to dress her up

    Midwest Main Lobster Boat
    So, while I was waiting for the varnish to dry on the Seguin, I started the Lobster boat. I just like the lines. I had a couple of lobster boats in the marina I managed in CT. Similar style. Easy Build. Called the success Series by Midwest. That means I should be able to do it? Began coating the interior with epoxy.

    The Seguin
    Back to the Dungeon (I like my Dungeon, very quiet) I started a new build, The Seguin. This will be a scratch build. I ordered plans from the Net. I picked the Seguin as it seemed straight forward and was designed for Steam. The keel has been laid. The Frames installed. The sub deck installed. The one by attached to the keel is to keep it from hogging. The build will be delayed, so I can process firewood for this winter. (Last Pic)

    USS BlueFish
    While I am waiting for the epoxy to fully harden on the 44, I am embarking on the Bluefish build. I bought this on ebay only because it was 1/4 of list price, and I did find it interesting. Seems like a nice little kit. Fitted the hull together, using CA, not Duco and tape as is called for. I used the CA so I can see and secure each area of the seam as I go along. The hull is very thin on the bottom., will require some filling and fairing, Trev

    Mt Washington
    Mt Washington by Dumas Cut out the hull. The directions say one thing the plans show another Installed some ledgers to support the deck as per the plans. I don't do Social Media or Blogs this is my first, so don't expect too much Love that CA, but of course I never have enough ventilation, surprised I have any brain cells left

    Yes Jb looks like a Detroit 6V53.
    I repowered a 36' Cris , for a customer, with two of those puppys.
    And can they Howl 😁😁
    The one thing about them is, when they get worn, They can run away by sucking up the crankcase oil. You aways want to stay on top of them , never on the side, in case they Blow.
    I know, more info that anyone is interested in.😌😌

    You are right Chris,
    Always mask up. in the early days when I was young and dumb I used to grind asbestos filled epoxy on boats without a mask.
    I can't remember how many brake jobs I did without a mask (Asbestos fiber in the innings)
    It's a wonder I can still breathe 😮🙄
