The list of requirement you have so far is a good start.
It looks like you need to set yourself a budget next. Then look at the cost of materials at local suppliers. Glues and fastners can cost more than the plywood. I'd repeat my advice to use some geometry or a compute program to estimate teh size of boat you'll need. I desinged my own first boat, a simple flat bottom skiff, and it turned out to be just what I needed. Of the ready made plans I'd recommend taking a look at the Dobbler 16 at www.jonesboats.com. I've read both of Jones' boatbuilding books where he describes a plywood and a fibreglass version he has built. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-freenet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
