I heartily agree. Brian's plans and construction manual are fantastic.

Blood on the Deck! (And Other Grand Adventures!) / Re: Butch V. slays tuna!

No special license for sport fishing for tuna required in BC, just the regular tidal water fishing license. Daily limit is 20 and possession is two daily limits.

We can fish for springs [kings, chinook salmon] in the ocean year-round, although there are restrictions on how many you can keep, hatchery, slot limits etc. that vary from time to time. The Winter Springs are excellent eating.

Projects - Glacier Boats of Alaska boat projects / GA 26 in Homer Alaska
« on: January 27, 2015, 01:22:47 PM »
I'm not sure how often one would need to wash down while planing. Flush to the scuppers when stopped or while trolling and then plane if you need to get the stuff to flow out the scuppers. Not sure if it's worth the hassle of hard plumbing.

That's my kind of installation Dave, if I'm right that you didn't put a hole below the waterline for your washdown intake. That's how I'll do mine. Did you base it on something you saw or just design it yourself?
I've read too many horror stories about below waterline thru hulls failing. I'm going to try to avoid ever putting any in my boat.

If you include the planning stage, you could add me to the list:
Rod Garson
Victoria, British Columbia
GA 25 or a Jumbo 24 if I can't pull off the GA. But I want the GA!
Not building yet, just wish I was! Sorry, hope I didn't screw up your thread...

General Discussion about the Great Alaskan / Re: Estimate for the plywood for the superstructure
« on: December 30, 2012, 08:34:34 PM »
Do you recommend marine grade plywood for superstructure and if so, the high end Okume stuff? Are there advantages to going with the higher end mahoganies for,superstructure?
