A View from the Bow...



Yesterday I ordered from San Devlin the new and improved design for his 22' Surf Scoter Pilot House Cruiser. The boat features several improvements including the ability of mounting an outboard motor on the transom as well as an extended cabin. With the extra room in the cabin there is room for a sit down potty and an enclosed head.

The hull lines have changed so it handles better at higher speeds meaning it planes a little better than earlier Surf Scoter designs. I have to complete the various projects around the place before I can start construction however. Not all bad.

Looks like a great project! I've always been fond of small powerboats for diving. I'm looking forward to watching it become reality.

Thank you Jerr. Thanks for stopping by. Since I wrote that post Sam has finished the drawings and I received them last week. The boat looks great. I see you are a ship's carpenter and boatwright, etc.

Smooth seas and a fair wind!

Terrific, George!
Let me know if you've got any questions - I'm glad to help: It's such a pleasure sharing things we love and building a boat, well that's just wonderful! There are a couple other boatbuilders who are great guys, know their stuff and not afraid to get their hands dirty, as well as being fairly far along their projects, featured on my main blog www.my-boat-works.com/blog you may want to meet. In prjects like this, lots of support is wonderful!
Cheers!
