Van Dam Woodworking
Nice piece on the Discovery Channel recently featuring Van Dam Woodworking. These folks restore, design and build classic wooden boats. Incredbile workmanship and attention to detail. The show left me babbling incoherently and drooling to where my wife thought I'd lost my mind :lol: Brian PS Logged ...

No plans or drawings exist. You'd have to find someone with a similar boat to take measurements and photos. Andreas That being said, I wouldl sure like to see some pictures of a Cruiser's Inc 302V Commander with the optional factory installed rear seat. None that I can see on the CD by the way Yes,...

I never could figure out why the hull ID and serail number were different on Peshtigo built boats. It made no sense to me. Pete Thomspon was asked and he did not know. That's just that way it was done! Andreas Was there ever a situation where the same hull was used for different models. My point be...

I am going to strip the hull of my Cruiser's Inc down to bare wood, caulk the garboard seam and replace the outer keel. After that I will apply numerous (how many ?) coats of Smith's CPES with 24 hrs drying time between each coat and then bottom paint (to match the existing line) and white marine pa...

Portside For what it's worth, I have had back/back/bunk seats in several boats. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've opened these seats up to a bunk. Don't waste your money on aftermarket seats you'll probably never use, redo what you've got. As I've mentioned elsewhere in Maine, the Mai...

Maybe this is a dumb suggestion but it would seem I'm not the only one who hasn't been able to locate the hull numbers on his boat. How about one of you who has posting a picture of them from a perspective that might help us locate ours ? I am very frustrated by this as I've gone to great lengths ba...

Andreas Please keep em coming if you've got more. I already saw something in one of the ones you posted that explained a small detail of how my boat was constructed to me. Sorry if I am beginning to sound a bit anal, but I was a Marine Designer for some years but worked on US Navy Warships. What tha...

You don't have to sing Andreas' praises to me, I've already got the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing a whole opera to him. Looking at the cross section Andreas provided, I'm going to assume (until I actually see it) that with the outer keel shot to hell that water runs between the seams of the variou...

I've always named my boats in a way that was relative to my family. When my wife and I were in our 20's I had a big tub of a Corson with a 150hp Mariner on it I named Sweet Cheeks for her. The Mach I I currently own is named EIGHT BELLES. The Cruiser's Inc will most likely be the Linnikali for my wi...

I am bookmarking this page so as to never again use the wrong name for something. Thank You Andreas. I not only know what to call each item, but also have a better understanding of the relationship of the pieces to one another from these drawings. This is what I meant in an earlier post about anyone...

Nomenclature
One of the hardest things for me in asking questions is knowing what to calll everything. For instance, I had thought the exterior keel was what you all were referring to when you used the term keelson, but a couple of recent posts have me thinking that the interior keel section is the keelson. So t...
