Thanks for the Tips guys. The boat has normal household plywood and 2x2 for
frame.
It'll be for occaisional use. non-marine or non-treated.

Actually the wife has never been on a boat and has a fear of something, this
is a good way to educate her or face her fears. She's watching it get built.
IF she likes this one and overcomes her fears, then we'll get a "real" boat
next year.


If you built it from interior grade plywood it is not going to last a
long time however you certainly should get some use out of the boat,
and if this is the first boat that you have built you will probably
begin to find fault with it after a while and start to think about
"the next boat". It can become an obsession - to build the perfect
boat :-)
