beekeeper Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Excellant build - loved the last pic. Is that a Gator boat? UG Thanks Uncle Grump for the compliment. I to love the last picture. It is not a Gator ( http://www.gatorboats.com/) design. It was not built with written plans. My first build was a Gator Croc. The skills and information I gained from that boat help me with the other boats. I have two friends that are real boat builders and they guide and try to teach me. http://www.keithspirogues.com/ Lots of information from this site also; http://www.southernpaddler.com/phpBB3/index.php This site started me in woodworking. beekeeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNC Molds N Stuff Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Is it epoxy resin? If so what is your coating for UV protection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishon-son Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 wow what a great boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekeeper Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Sorry guys for not replying to the new post and thanks for the compliments. The wood is coated with epoxy resign and toped with 4 or 5 coats of marine varnish for a gloss finish and uv protection. I have built several boats since, that are probably "better" but his one is special and may be my favorite. beekeeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
