Those boats are so pretty they bring tears to my eyes. Gotta finish the current long time project so that I can try to make something a fraction that nice.

: Hi Scott,
: I attended the Tahoe Show many years ago and came away equally impressed -
: the old runabouts are certainly a source of inspiration for deck graphics.
: I've personally built 8 kayaks with a "runabout" inspired graphic
: and helped with 4 others built by students.
: The "runabout" is a great graphic in that it is simple to build -
: no crossing lines or swoops means much less complicated fitting of strips
: - and it imparts a classic richness to the boat that is hard to achieve
: any other way.
: I tend to use Alaskan yellow cedar for the light pinstripes as it is very
: white (if carefully selected).
: For the background woods, I've used Honduran mahogany, Khaya, western red
: cedar, and Peruvian walnut with good results.
: Good luck with your build.
: Joe
