Long time no post or update.

 Well, after a long hiatus, moving across the country, starting a business, building 2 other boats, and starting 4 more, I'm back to work on the Ferrous Pony (aka Iron Horse).  

We now live on Canada's East coast, more specifically Prince Edward Island.  We made the move out here July 2013.  I guess it was an attempt at taking a slower pace in life.  I think it has worked, and also shown its payoffs.  We have water surrounding us on all sides. The water is always just minutes away.

I'll start off here by showing some pictures of the 16' skiffs (Lumberyard style) I've completed, and a few of the 4 mini boats that are also in the works (Paul Elkins Little Miss Sally).  After, I'll post the progress I've made on the Pony.

Thanks for reading,

My friend and I built one skiff each. We picked away on weekends over the course of a year.  My friend's (black and gray) was built with fixed seat boxes, and has a 25hp Mercury Sea Pro.

Here's a close up profile of my skiff, Cap'n Meow(Hand lettered names by my wife and I.  P.s. our business is Shiny Paint Art Co., We do Sign Painting, lettering, murals, window painting etc.).  I have made removable seat boxes that sit over the hull bottom butt blocks.  I've fit the boat with a 2005 25hp Suzuki 3 cylinder 4 stroke.  Both boats are fibreglassed on the outside, and painted inside.  We used Home Hardware's brand urethane fortified oil enamel on both bottom and top side.  The trailers were custom built up west in Tignish by Martin's Trailers.  Very solid working boat trailer with three flat rollers, for ease of use.
