Chocoura With Ben

Hiked Mt Chocorua with Ben as a last hurrah before he heads back to Tufts on Sat. Ahh, it was nice. A perfect day for it. Sunny, with temp in upper 60's. Lively hike and livelier conversation.

Beached Whale

I take the bathtub out in Long Island Sound to test her out and explore some new kiting beaches. I'm on Flat Hammock Island when this beast beaches itself. Wow! And people say that my bathtub is a little unique. This is a boat that knows about unique.

Building a Better Bathtub

Hey I've got the new outboard working on my bathtub! I just had to raise the transom, install my home made steering console, steering wheel, steering cables, throttle and shift controls, battery, gauges, wiring. No problem. I work feverishly on it with almost every second of my spare time for 2 months.

Building my New Steering Console


Building my New Transom


Old Transom was Too Low


New Motor, New Transom, Gas Filter, Bilge Pump, Structural Bracing




New Console, Gauges, Chartplotter, Throttle, Forward Hatches (with Striped Padding)

My bathtub is much improved! But it's still a bathtub.
