| 9' Skiff |
| I have started some small projects, after finishing the BBB. This is a 9' Skiff designed by Chesapeake Marine Design. I an building it for a summer camp in Vermont,they use these for the girl's camp as they are very light, about 60 lbs. This is the third one to this design that I have built for them. |

| BBB update |
| BBB sea trial |
| The first photo of the BBB in the water. She looks good, and goes well too. I got a weight on the whole rig- 1740 Lbs, including boat, motor, trailer, fuel and gear. This boat can be towed with just about any car, SUV, or light truck. |

| Hello Again ! |
| BBB-Sea Trials |
| Hi everyone - the Shop Log is back, after a brief hiatus for technical reasons. All the previous posts have been lost, so I guess I will be staring from scratch. I have finished the BBB. The 50 HP Etec has been installed and rigged. Weight of the boat without the motor was about 1,000 Lbs. I will weigh it again with motor and gear. We took the boat out last week-end for sea trials, and it went very well. She got up on plane around 3,000 rpm, and was very dry riding. No GPS, so no numbers yet.
PS- still working out some glitches. |
