After a long trip down the Main and Lower Salmon, I've become (somewhat)
interested in building a wooden dory with compartments for whitewater.

Woodworking skills are probably not a problem-- I build reproduction period
furniture. Still:

1. Any good plan recommendations?
2. Can one buy super-sturdy plywood (I keep thinking red oak might be the
thing to build the thing out of)?
3. How much space do you need to do this?
4. Roughly how much would it cost?

Scotty, I know you're out there and the expert. Here's a chance for us to
make up. I promise-- no politics, only boats! ;-)


There are many here who I think would enjoy learning more about the
craft of Dory building. Another couple of years on the raft and the seams
will need to be rewelded. Moving into a wood boat would be a logical step.

Question are a Dory and Drift boat the same thing? And is a MacKenzie just a
specific brand? Are there any commercial products are these all the creations
of specialized builders?
