The Ultimate DIY thread - Ubuilding (Pics)
Hey all, There is another, albeit smaller, side to this whole RV thing - those crazy folks who build their own for whatever reason. Whether you've scratch-built it from the ground up, assembled a kit...

Fresh prawns, oh yeah, I'm aboard for that!
I think you're one of those guys, Lefty, that is beyond good at glassing. The chemical nature of things you mentioned is where I see the "art" and "magic" of the process.
A single lunger 10 hp. would be a grand idea for an offshore rig but I was leaning more to an electric setup for lakes and rivers close by. I live between two excellent lakes (1/4-1/2 mi. in either direction) or can choose from any of the other 9,998 we're supposed to have in this State. A guy stopped by last week, wishing to look at the lifeboat, seems he has a bit of boat building and repair experience. He mentioned that I could buy the whole electric propulsion unit for $5K from Electric Boat Co.. That is about $4K more than I'd like to spend, lol. I was thinking more along the lines of a slavaged golf cart drive train and some batteries.
