You cant go wrong with Jem Watercraft. I have built three of his boats and I tell you what...they are absolutely spectacular. There is something that he understands about boat design, hydrodynamics, or whatever it is that makes his boats paddle extremely well.

Thanks guys for bringing this one back. Mom just returned from Indiana for Grandpaws 88th birthday. Wish I could have been there. Its pretty cool to have his tools and I hope to pass them along to my grandkids. Yup thats a TR-6. Pretty nice car but needs a lot of work. Was my sisters car in high sch...

Man that is one nice looking board! Your gonna have a lot of explaining to do at the boat ramp with that thing. People are going to ask a million questions, so factor that time into your fishing trip

Its a great fishing platform but if its a windy day. Your in for a workout.

Here is a cool video on SUPs.

This should pretty much sell you on these things.

Here is a short video of me goofing off on my Jem Watercraft paddle board. I fish all the time off this thing.

And I'm not even a ninja

Interesting. Gonna have to remember that one.

Thats one beautiful boat right there. Very nice work! Thanks for posting.

Looking for a place that sells marine plywood in the Austin or San Antonio area. Even Corpus Christi would work.

Thanks

I used to fly the crap out of those things. Its been about 17 years since I last flown. My favorite glider was a sparrow from northeast sail planes. Used to slope soar down in Corpus Christi. I also had an Illusion from M&M glider works. It was a hand launch all wood glider. Thats prolly the clo...

Flat rock lake is a nice place to get on the water. Its free, plenty of parking. I have never heard of serenity island.

The kitchen is the only way to go for the final coat. Good lighting, temperature controlled, and fast access to a Lonestar

This is one of my favorite boats I have ever paddled. I cannot believe how fast that thing is. And its a nice looker!

This boat is coming along nicely. Cant wait to see how you build to deck and rig it out.

Oh and thats a pretty nice looking shop your working in

There is this place a few miles from my house. Its a low water crossing and you can walk quite a ways down river on foot. I put in there on a Sunday morning a while back and I could not believe how much trash and crap people left behind. Cans, bottles, broken chairs, water toys, clothes, socks, shir...

I like the build method. That thing looks like it will be a rocket on the water!

Great report. Man that is one nice looking board! Glad you are out using that thing. It will give you many great fishing trips. Nothing like going out on the water on something that you built

I just cant see them selling very many of those things

Spectacular This board turned out really nice. Really dang nice!

Now comes the cool part. Somebody's gonna ask you where you got that thing, and you get to say. I made it

This is going to be a cool build!

Looking at the plans it sorta looks like a big Jem paddle board If I ever moved back to corpus this is the kind of boat I would like to have. Is it the same one Tombo is going to build?

From what I understand.......there is no shortage of water now! Prolly go from Leakey to Concan in one day But I wouldn't recommend it.

I would have to say the Upper Guadalupe since I only live about a mile from the closest crossing.

Also hit the Frio quit frequently. Like to fish it after all the tubers are gone in the fall. Beautiful river.

The section of river between 1120 and happy hollow is probably the best run in a kayak without having to get out and drag. Take it slow because its a short run. It has one place with a small water fall that you prolly wont want to try with all your fishing gear. I usually carry around it. Just have ...

The epoxy might settle out after it sits a bit. If it doesn't you will just have to sand a little more. When you varnish sand between each coat with something like 220 grit paper with your orbital till its all white. You dont want any shiny spots. I use 3" disposable foam brushes from the hardw...

I have a question. How easily do these boats dent? Like if you stood on the floor would the heal of your food dent it or do yall put extra glass or even wood in the cockpit area? Thanks

TexaRican, I had a laps of memory. I should have remembered that. Those are a couple of nice looking boats.

Make sure when you glass that thing it is vented somehow. Or if your not using a vent. Epoxy it when the temperature is cooling down outside. Not in the morning. These large hollow boards can build a lot of pressure in them just like a plastic gas can does. If your glassing when the board has pressu...
