suggested reading?

[bug]

I'm interested in building a wood or foam core power boat. I'm would like to know what books would be helpful in learning more about these techniques.

A couple I've been studying lately:
The Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction by Meade Gougeon
The Elements of Boat Strength by Dave Gerr

Also try Nigel Calders " The Boatowners Mechanical and Electrical Manual", the best money you will ever spend if you really do want to build a good boat. His book is the only one i have ever read that I agree with basically everything in it, he really does know where the pointed end is.

Thank you for the suggestions.
