TotalBoat Ambassador, Scott Smith, is among our squad of backyard boatbuilders who are making great progress on their wooden boat builds. Scott has poured all of his time and energy into getting the George Buehler designed Diesel Duck trawler to this point, and he’s not stopping now! Using a boatload of Thixo and TotalBoat Traditional 5:1 Epoxy Resin, Scott is taking on the build of his massive dreamboat with the hopes of inspiring others to do the same through his videos. This is an important stage in Scott’s build as he considers all the systems and considerations he must make for where engines, pipes, tanks, and all the important things will go in the near future. Enjoy.
