Right now I am using a 16' Lowe aluminum with a Yamaha 15HP 4-stroke and
pretty much restrict my activity to bays and inshore waters. It handles
quite well providing its not too choppy but can still bang around pretty
good. On ocassion when the wind picks up it can get a little rough out
there and my concern is to have something that will always get me home
safely.

You NEVER approiach bvoat building from the "easy" aspect. You are
talking small boat rough water. You need to look at saving your own
life. Have you _boated_ before? Boating is where you suddenly find you
are ON YOUR OWN.

I am contemplating building a stitch & glue boat but have never built
anything (boats that is) before. I'm curious as to how easy or difficult
it
really is before I start investing in plans. Are there any plans that are
truly easy for a novice?

I am interested in something unsinkable that can handle rough water pretty
well in the 16' to 20' range. Either a cuddy, small cabin or a center
console would be fine.
