Jim's Boats
Our PGCA member Jim Bielke of Morgan, Minnesota builds and restores wood boats. Here is a 17 ft Rangely square stern that he did for me. The hull is white cedar , seats are old heart redwood, oars are basswood, transom, deck and removable floors are ash and gunnels are mahogany . The base coating is epoxy covered by Epiphanes varnish.
It weighs under 200 lbs and a 10 hp outboard pushes the boat along quickly.
