If a 15 foot dory weighs 325 lbs a 17 foot boat is 1.13 times longer.
That scale factor can be used to morph blue print dimensions up or down Weight too? It must be.
This new hull got pinched between the trailer wheel fenders. I had to shim the the trailer bed 4" up to get it to work (1.5" in front with a 6x6 in back).
Had to push the boD 4" higher on the old trailer to get it to fit between the finders.

Worm resin is sold to those who want to use worm or minnow molds
I tie fles weth it, by painting it (hit liquid) with a water color brush. Fabulous stuff
I gave it be ause the resin I bought stinks when hot, and because contained nasty forever chemicals
Then I found out you van bey no stink plastisol with no forever stuff in it. Came today
This is doing to be fun.
Chree steps left..
Fix one of two hinges
Spring loaded pins for the oarlock wings
Oil the outside
Load it up and go.
At least one easy water shakedown cruiise. Then nave some fun.
This looks promising.
If it does not work out I'll copp. But boy it sure looks like it does and will.
One way to make SOFT lures is to make a mold, and then to pour in hot iiquid Plastisoi.
There is another way.
Use scissors to snip a kitchen sponge (or memory foam) to any desired shape. Now use a popsicle stick to squeeze in mold making goo.
Liquid latex and/or a polyurethane mix, both seem to work.
You can use a razor blade to bury strategically placed beads or split shot.
You end up with a soft but durable lure body--of any sizi or shape--without a mold.
Want a diving bill? Add that with.super glue BEFORE squeezing in the mold making resin.
Who who who who
Who wrote the book of fools?
I posted the following photo in r/flyfishing and instantly got excommunicated, noi not exsorcized.
Sohere is my question:
Do you recognize yourself?
It is interesting. Ip rnd when I post fly photos in Lure Making communities, there is no knee jerk, culture warsbacklash.
Which is the more enlightened refined and gendlemrnly community?

....today. Everything so so slowly-as-she-goes -- when you're almost 80.
The spinner here is built on 20lbs test.
A short length of wire (with a fly change loop) keeps the two apart in a current.
What is the point?
My local Gallatin river is raging. Visual response fly fishing on the river right now it lottle better than the back yard.
A little flash and a little lateral line vibration changes the back yard to river compareson. More than a little. A lot more than a little.
