Wood dust irritates your eyes, nose and throat. It is a threat to lung function, has been shown to cause asthma and is increasingly being proved to be a carcinogen. It also causes fires, explosions, even slippery floors in the woodshop, and can play havoc with finishes. Methods used to control it are usually referred to as dust collection “systems,” and that last word is important. A dust collector alone, no matter how big, can’t handle all the debris created in a woodshop.

That’s not exactly retina-searing stuff for an 18-foot, 5-inch powerboat, but considering the minuscule 20-hp 4-stroke hung on the stern, it was remarkable.
