I get that about the designers and options and so on and not to argue, if the plans are somewhat marketed for beginners I wouldn't think there...
as an experiment is elementary school we built a small bridge out of Elmer's glue and popsicle sticks. No one thought it could support the weight...
What do you mean by "limbers"? I'm really not planning on putting hatches in the bow or the stern for that matter, at least for now. I intend...
So it goes back to the plans being for a "beginner" or first time builder. I assumed this type of information would be in the plans. I research...
Although the designer of the plans was very responsive I just wasn't thrilled with what I paid for, so at this point id rather not mention names....

Hey, Recently I inherited an aluminum boat from my father up in Wisconsin where the boat was manufactured. It is a 16 ft aluminum v hull with a...
Good advice. after further research this seems to be the more common thought. the area I’ve been going out in is pretty popular and calm even...
hey, so i live in Florida and i'm in the beginning/middle of building an all foam and fiberglass low sheer flats saltwater fishing boat around 15...
