Craft A Craft | Boat design, home building, and cruising in a nutshell

Visit American Rivers

Ran across a pointer to American Rivers, an organization working toward healthy rivers, for all the many reasons we would want that. Cleanup activities, regulatory work and basic waterway facts are just some of what they have. Something you might want to check out. read more »

Visit New Torqeedo model

Torqeedo apparently has a new model out. I can't find it on the companies web pages yet, but others are covering it.

Geared around remote steering, the Cruise 4.0 R is spec'ed to be approximately equivalent to a 9.9 HP gas outboard.

A couple of these are getting close to what I need... hmmm...

Promoted Dane to lawn mowing class today, so while he did that, I got some done on the boat :-)

Routed out some on the framework for the rear sponson areas so that I can get an opening hatch cover mounted there. They are designed to be propane tank storage. Don't know if that's what I'll use them for, but they will definitely be good storage for something. read more »

Happy Thanksgiving

Just a quick note to all my U.S. based readers... hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. Most of us have so much to be thankful for, and sometimes we don't remember it. We had a good day with family and friends and I hope you did also.
