Repairs to small motor launch

These pictures are of a small motor launch which was originally build by my last boss (C. H. Fox's & Son Ltd.) back in 1964 when the company were known for building high quaility wooden motor boats and yachts, before I started my own boat building and repair business.

New projects on the go

Hi everyone,

At the moment I have a couple of big projects on the go, one is a rebuild of a James Silver Western Isles 37'6" TSDY build in 1948. She is in a poor state at the moment, but with a bit of time and money will be back to her beauiful original condition. When I get time I will put some photos on the site. The other projects are a couple of  small motor launchs in need a a bit of TLC.

We just bought a home in the mountains of Idyllwild, Ca. First time the home has been sold since the original owner built it in the early 1960s. In the garage we found a full dugout canoe suspended from the rafters. We don't canoe. We don't know anyone who canoes. We do know that it is an authentic dugout and a bit of a novelty. Do you know if any of your members would be interested in this? It's likely to hang there another 40 years...and that would be a sh

Hi all. Building Devlin's Godzilla 25

I added some build pictures of the progress so far. I've had a lot of fun building it, although I'm two months behind on my self-imposed schedule. Here's my blog address: http://boatbuild.wordpress.com/

I'm looking for pictures of other Godzilla's, either the 22 or the 25, other than the ones on Devlin's site. Anyone have some? Shots of other small tug-style boats would be appreciated too.
