: I stand corrected. The auxiliary base and fence doesn't sound too bad.
I have been contemplating using a circular saw on my next project, I had thought of building a table to cut strips of plywood with a fence the same height as the boards I am cutting, a second adjustable fence on top of the first would serve as a guide for the saw. The circular saw would be set to cut just below the depth of the lumber, and in time the plywood table surface may have to be replaced. This way I would also be able to cut the gunwales on the same setup. I believe the table would not have to be more than 12 feet long as this would support 2/3 of a 18 foot peice of lumber. Anything has to be better than ripping on the Shopsmith I used on my first project.
