Arizona Game & Fish have approached me about doing a TV program on building a wooden boat. As a result, we had four folks at the house yesterday ripping strips and setting up the strongback for a King. The group will be building a Spring Run, a Silver, and two Kings. None of us, however, are willing to build fast enough to have the boat finished before the filming needs to conclude. I've got to admit that this is an original excuse & I am starting #3 well ahead of schedule - the backyard will get finished some day!

Of course, since the show normally features hunting, fishing, and wildlife, we're going to have some on-water footage looking at birds... any excuse to get boats on the water. Anyway, I'm looking for any other Phoenix area builders that have a finished boat you'd like to include in on-water shots. I'm aware of Greg Morse's Coho, Matt Pennington's Return, my Return & Morris SOF. Does anyone have names or contact info for others?

Any references would be appreciated.
