Re: Eaglecraft

I might correct that slightly. The owners of Armstrong bought Daigle. Eaglecraft also has a new website. Very needed and a great improvement.

Eaglecraft

I just read that Armstrong recently bought Daigle Marine. Anyone have more information on the future Eaglecraft? Sorry if this has been touched on already.

Re: A question for you all.

I finally sat down and thoroughly read all the links you posted. Very, very interesting. A lot of my questions about scows were answered. The Nina was sweet! I think I'll play around with scow designs a bit. My big question was about the lower accommodations and overall height of the cabin. But with...

Re: A question for you all.

Thanks again for the detailed and very enticing response, Kevin. You know of what I only dream about. The cabin on the water is a great idea. I'm not sure I could pull that one off. But I will add the scow idea to my list of things to pursue. You make a strong argument for it. My wife would certainl...

Re: A question for you all.

Kevin, Wow! is all I can say. I didn't see that one coming. I'll second the comments by goatram- I feel like I've struck gold. Thank you for sharing. Your comments have given me more encouragement although some rethinking is obviously needed. You can't get much further from a planing boat than a sco...

Re: A question for you all.

kmorin, I believe you understand what I'm trying to do, and essentially there is no boat out there other than something refurbished that meets the criteria. That's fine- I'm really trying to learn here so no loss. Let me get my reading done. Size to me to fit 2+ 2 people and have the shower, head, g...

Re: A question for you all.

I appreciate the time spent giving me an education, and the directness. Unfortunately this medium makes it difficult to express myself better. I do understand more than I let on, but obviously not near enough. I will read the books mentioned(thanks) and continue to think this through. It's fascinati...

Re: A question for you all.

Thanks for the welcome and posting a response. I'd like to continue the conversation(for the second time unfortunately. Lost the first one). I'll make this one a bit shorter. First of all, I'm newly retired so time isn't an issue. I'd like to explore the PNW. I've left the issue of cost out to conce...

A question for you all.

L&G, I'm new to boats, but have been researching them seriously for a few years now with the intention of purchasing one in the next year(or two). My desire would be to make extended cruises up the left coast from the Vancouver Island area. The craft would only have to sleep two regularly and fo...
