@shizensamurai,

You are such a arsehole! What kind of drugs are you taking anyway? You know none of these traditional boatbuilders, and you seem to have ZERO boatbuilding skills. Oh! By the way any boat IS sinkable under the right circumstances. So, go suck a tit!

Building boats is easy. You want steel, aluminum, wood/epoxy, cold-molded, fiberglass, etc? Decide, then build. Stupid boatbuilders tell you only they can do it, then jack up prices to millions. Liars, cheaters, and scum. They don't even guarantee boats. My boats are guaranteed to be unsinkable. Many water tight bulkheads/compartments, solid construction, lots of pumps. Forget this Calvert dude. He's God or something? Just a man, like you. Marketing ploy. They just want your money.

They better get the lines now because there are not many good boatbuilders left in Newfoundland. Another guy they should visit is Calvert Meadus in St. Jones Within, Trinity Bay. He is right up there with Henry.
