Recycling, aka, Cheap boat
Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2008 11:49 pm
With a little ingenuity, careful planning, $50 of resin and seam tape, you can turn an old fiberglass shower stall into a hard edged, planing hull, surf machine. Check the contractor's dumpsters or craigslist(not Schmerda) for an old shower stall to call your next boat. Using a technique akin to building canoes and kayaks out of plywood, you can shape your new boat using a jigsaw. Just be sure to seal the exterior with epoxy or latex paint to prevent fiberglass splinters. Food for thought. I can already see a new class at nationals, SS-1.
