And so it begins


Hi, my name is Greg and I decided to build a 48 foot power boat.  I kind of knew what I was getting into and also had no idea.  These polar opposites often co-exist when it comes to boats.   I bought the plans about 10 years ago from designer George Buehler.  The boat is a "Diesel Duck" 48.

Shortly there after I began accumulating the big chunks of wood that became the name sake of the project for many years to come: Pile of Wood!

  1. Hey Greg, I'm on board with this. 48'? Sounds like a big project. He also has, as I am sure you know, a 38' version. Hope that's a big pile of wood. Good luck, post often we are all watching you.

    1. Yup, big project. And yes, Buehler has a number of Diesel Duck designs out- two friends (one has launched the other has his hull finished) built the 44 and I know of another 38 hull that was started in steel that is being finished off. The pile is big (the wood ;-0)

  2. The steel 38 might be Wendell Gallagher's project?
