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.

Just arrived, the Dumas Mt Washington.
The directions say it may take 9 months to a year to complete.
Gosh, I hope I live that long

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.

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,

Excellent, Dave👍👍
You seem to be the Master in applying finishes.
As evidenced by your paint work and now car wrap.
Did you do this as a profession?

Absolutely Beautiful Yacht!!
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 😮🙄
