Randy I checked my Hull Roster for all of the boats this mold makes and these are some of the few it does with out any changes to the hull First here is the Newton plans # 108 .and this it the Roster Hull number 7025 , 7325 , and 7474.... which makes 18 boats with out any changes.. with some changes to the pickel ( adding ,and transom ,doing a cut out ) It will make 38 boats in all....We also have the mold for the pay&pack cowl and for the Lincon thriff style cowl...

[Randy Naylor]

Thanks Roy.
I spoke with Dan today and he did not know that this boat is joined top to bottom.

Kmot Thanks

[Roy Munoz]

Hey Randy I was thinking on the way back from your shop that if you haden't sprayed the primer on that the hull it would have been lighter...But that sure saves a step in getting the boat ready.. Maybe next month I'll start working on the Norberg/Knowlen Hull that makes the 79 Circur Circus ,Squire Shop , Spirt of the Air Force and about four more... We also have the molds for the cowl for those....

[eddieh]

I have the plans for both the 72 pay n pak and the 73 bud, any idea on what a hull and cowl set would sell for?? are they gonna be for sale???
Randy your are one Baddd Builder, painter , innovator my man!! excellent....:hail: :hail: :hail:

[Randy Naylor]

I am working off 76 plans and lots of pictures. to do the 73 Bud. I have been working on the cowels this week in rough statewhen it is done and if rou gives me the ok I may be able to make you a 72 pay n pak Price? depends on how much you want me to do and how fast. Thanks for the prase.

You know it, Roy!!! :D

[Roy Munoz]

Dan we'll lend Randy our mold for the shovel nose if He willing to make you one.? Weight is not a problem with a Shovel Nose..So you can put all the batt. you want in them...Ours weight in at 16 - 19 lb....

[Dan Chase]

Thanks, Roy! I REALLY appreciate that! I'll talk to Randy about it, were finally moving back to our house after the fire at the end of the week. Maybe when things settle down a bit! :D

[Roy Munoz]

I bet it must have been ruff not haveing a work shop to play in...When we go out of town for a few days I get withdraws of not being able to work on something on my boatss.haahahha.

[Dan Chase]

The house the insurance company put us in actually had a pretty decent shop area with lot of shelves and lighting. The really hard part was going for the drill press or grinder and not having it there, if I couldn't do it with a dremal it was off to Randy's shop! Also, I think I spent another fortune on wood and bits & pieces I already bought!

When they were rebuilding our garage, they had to put outlets every 6 feet! I'm going to like that! Muhahahaha! :D

[Roy Munoz]

That sounds grate..Plenty of outlets..There never enough of them.I wish I had some every 4 inches..ahahhaaa about 100...
