ScottWidmier Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Thought I would share some more pictures. These show my tow setup, dodger cabin, sleeping platform (storage underneith), my towing setup, and some pictures from the Glen-L gathering at Lake Guntersville. Enjoy and feel free to ask questions: Quote
Ken_Potts Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Great pictures (and boat) Scott! It looks like you're ready to go anywhere - But two outboards? Quote
ScottWidmier Posted November 15, 2007 Author Posted November 15, 2007 Cruise n carry is a little slower and a lot more beat up. Evinrude is probably the option I would use for a longer cruise. Quote
Ken_Potts Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Hmmm... Seems confusing - I think you're going to have to build another boat to go with the extra motor... Quote
ScottWidmier Posted November 15, 2007 Author Posted November 15, 2007 wife and kids have claimed the next three boats I build so your suggestion will be tabled for awhile... Quote
Ken_Potts Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Your family is forcing you to build more boats? Oh - The horror! ;D I've been scrutinizing the pictures and the more I look the more I like. The dodger looks great and I love the on-the-water pics. Have you slept aboard yet? Did you make the oars? Makes me want to hitch my boat up and go sailing right now. Quote
Guest ib1boatnut Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Nice looking boat Scott. Just turned mine over to start the bottom :'( Quote
Hirilonde Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Your family is forcing you to build more boats? Oh - The horror! Grin My wife thinks I should finish the downstairs of the addition I built 15 years ago. I thought I had it bad, your family expects boats!!! She looks great Scott! Quote
ScottWidmier Posted November 15, 2007 Author Posted November 15, 2007 I slept onboard for 2 nights at the Glen-L Gathering on Lake Guntersvile. Pictures of her on the water are from that trip and she is fully loaded for a couple days camp-cruising. All the gear stored nicely under the sleeping platform which ment no shifting of gear for sleeping or sailing. All I had to do to sail was to stuff the sleeping bag, put it down below, roll up the sleeping mat, store it under the foredeck, and then fold the dodger down. Yes, my family is forcing me to build more boats. Pity me please!!! Quote
BuildDre Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 WOW.. Nice job with the canvas. That was a great idea.. Which brings up a question on rain, and bilge pumps in these Stevenson sailboats. How do you guys get rid of the rain water at the stern. Quote
ScottWidmier Posted December 8, 2007 Author Posted December 8, 2007 Probably should post the bilge question as its own thread. A bailing scoop made from a laundry detergent bottle with the bottom cut off and a sponge works fine for me. However, a drain plug is very nice if you get stuck driving home in the rain. Quote
