Default How Easy Is It?

I am contemplating building a stitch & glue boat but have never built

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.

Jerry, first spend alot of time picking out a boat design you really
like. You have to like the boat.
It is not that hard to do. If you inherently enjoy figuring
stuff out and learning
new things than it won't be that hard. Anything you have
problems with you can get help on
groups like this one. There is a lot of help out there.

You build boats because you enjoy the process as much or more
than the final result. Otherwise
it's probably a better idea to buy a boat instead.
