    Fast forward to the present, I got back started in earnest on the project at the beginning of October. After a whole lot of sanding and fairing some gouges, I was able to finish priming the hull with TotalBoat Total Protect last weekend. I was not overly impressed with the Total Protect, and it...

    Carolina Skiff J16 Project

    Wow, I can't believe I started this project 6 years ago! After my last post, I finished the transom install, repaired the front lip of the hull and flipped the boat over onto a thrown together stand to prepare it for painting. And that is how it sat for 6 years. Time, money, women I'm not...

    Carolina Skiff J16 Project

    I purchased my Carolina Skiff J16 a little over a year ago. I'm in it for around $600 after selling the 25hp motor it came with and using a 30hp I got for next to nothing. After using it for a year I am ready to make some changes to the layout. This is my first go at 'boat crafting/modificating'...
