Boat Forum / Building / September 2005

I need to replace the rub rails in a 15' Lyman.  I've shaped the bevel
on the rear sections which have no curvature and cut a scarf on the
end.  I now need a 12' section of curved rail to mate to this scarf.  I
really would like to shape them first but am at a loss on how to do

I am in need of the exhuast riser for a volvo penta aq170.  Mine has
rusted through.  If anyone has one they would like to sell I would
appreciate it.  Thanks

I'm new to newsgroups and can't figure out how to find other groups. I was
led to this one by a hotlink, I guess.

I was wondereing if someone could explain to me the procedure to measure the
angle of rake swept back spreaders have on a sailboat?

Hey, here are the picutres from the Race.  
It's hard to see in the "finished" picture, but there is a 2" triangle
bar across where the plastic stops, and two more that go along the top
of both sides, almost the entire length.

I got myself singed up for a cardboard boat race this saturday.  We
are given two sheets of 5x8 card board, duct tape and plastic
sheeting.  I was thinking of building a canoe style, but was worried
about the boat folding in half.  I know plywood has alot more

Is there a place where I can buy plans and/or take a class to prepare me to
build a knock-off of an early 1940's Chris-Craft Deluxe Runabout or similar
vintage boat?
Thanks!

Has anyone used this

I have a small 1970s 24ft Sea Camper houseboat. I can install a head
and holding tank but fear a stinky cabin and that would ruin my boat
