    Default Harbercraft flyfisher build

    I was wondering if anyone has a harbercraft flyfisher in the lower mainland ??

    I would like to spend about 1/2 an hour taking measurements for a project boat.

    If anyone has detailed specs on either the 9 or preferably the 11ft models I would be indebted to you forever.

    I will make it worth you're while .

    Cheers

    Not sure how long it will take but it will be finished for fall fishing..

    The boat in the avatar is a 8.5ft pram weighing 104 lbs and built with .080. I am probably going to build another this winter.

    Cheers

    Extrusion has been imported... Now the big decision to weld or rivet?? the last was rivets, all flush.

    weld. hands down. rivets leak. welds don't. welds are stronger too.

    Well , my rivets don't leak at least for a couple of years. I will have to learn how to weld also . Sealant is our friend Sikaflex 292..

    I am shopping for a welder>>>

    I am in a rush for a week long trip to Roche lake in the fall....

    Cheers
