The Thing
Unconventional looking boat. Hard to describe.
Here are actual customer pics from a customer who built one along with
his story:
In 1959 I purchased an
original home built “Thing” and ran it for several years on the
Willamette River. Years later it got rotten and subsequently
discarded. Now the Son of the man who originally built it from the
magazine plans in his wood shop in Milwaukie, Oregon works with me
and he helped his Dad build it in 1958. We decided to search for the
plans and if we found them I (an engineer) would upgrade it for two
adults and build it. I bought your disk and building started last
May 25 and it was ready to launch July 20th. You are
welcome to use the photos and my “title” as a former white water
guild River Rat Bob from Oregon. Hope you enjoy the pictures
attached. I am 60 years old but still chasing the dream as you see
from my smile in the boat.
Whizz
Slick looking ice yacht!
You can use all of these plans to
figure out which boat you want to build and go for it. Start
building your dream!
Plans
come from a variety of sources. Many come from boat building
magazines. Various skill levels are required. Some
boats can be built by beginners in a garage, others require much more
space and expertise to construct.
