Thanks, Harry. No worries about the engine in backwards: I put on a RH prop
instead of a LH, so it should be fine...

Well, I'm seriously thinking of BUILDING something very similar...

Absolutely spectacular! I very much enjoyed looking at the site. You
did a great job with the pics and the 'journaling' as my scrapbooking
wife would say. Nice work Lloyd!

I'm thinking of building a nice little 12'or 14' wood dory or even a
driftboat. The latter seem to row nicely. This would be just to fool
around with in some of the creeks near our house or along the edges of
the bay. I had a line on some sheets of sepelle (well, spelling somthing
like that) plywood that looked ideal for the job. Maybe next fall.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Way to go Lloyd! If she runs as good as she looks, you will have a gem on
your hands.

==============================

Lloyd, I'm concerned about the appearance of that engine:

It's WAY too clean to be usable. Spill some used oil on it
and buy some artificial rust coloring! Then it will run OK,
even if it is in backwards.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
