rowboat -- lightest but easiest to build

... "scp" wrote in message ... What would be the lightest but easy to build row boat design for car topping and fishing? Stitch & glue garvey in 1/4" plywood w/ 1/2" seats. Hands down. Bateau and Glen-L both have some small designs that would be suitable. For this size I might favor some of the small Bateau designs. Make the hull. Put seats in to make it rigid. Done. You could probably throw it together doing a crappy job in a couple days or do a decent job in a week. Paint it when you are done to keep the epoxy from degrading in the sunlight. You mixed your styles though. A good boat for rowing is not necessarily the best fishing platform. Small water fishing platform will be wider and a flat or flatter bottom. Something like this might make a fair compromise. http://www.bateau.com/proddetail.php?prod=FL12 I would probably favor something more like this myself. http://www.bateau.com/proddetail.php?prod=GV11&cat=9 |
