125cc runabout completed

This boat has been built by Jimmy Shane based on input from many folks. I look forward to working out the kinks, and maybe with a little testing I can run closer to the front this year.

What does it weight?

[Composite Specialties]

Weight

We did not get a chance to weight it but it is the lightest 250cc/350cc boat I have ever built, just by lifting it to move it around. I will weight it in a couple of weeks. There are plans in the works to make molds off this one after the test session and hopefully go all composite with the future boats.

Nice Stuff

Very nice--Now I have question. MJR and all you boat builders.
What are you useing for stringer lumber? I know sitka is prefered
but up here almost impossible to get and really pricey. Want to get
building but need info.

Thanks!

[Bill Huson]

Sitka is beautiful . . .

but as you noted, hard to get and very expensive. Last bunch of hydros I built we used Obeche. Nice wood to work with - machines (plane/saw) well, glues (WEST) well, and is usually knot free and is straight grained. Oh yeah - light. Forget Doug fir - doesn't like to bend to a curve easily and it is heavy. Any pine would work if that's all you can find. Not sure about cedar, as in Western Red or Atlantic White (juniper). I've used it for lightweight canoe & dinghy builds but some folks claim cedar fractures on impact. Not that I've noticed. For my latest build, a wood/epoxy catamaran for Darling Daughter, I'm using cypress for framing lumber. Light, glues well, fairly knot and grain runout free. Also inexpensive. $2.40/bd foot for rough lumber. Price may be related to the fact I live close to the coastal swamps which are home port for cypress trees.

Doug, I think we now have three DR Tohatsu's and six DH.
Thanks!
