Well you asked for it so here goes... I Built this boat in 2014. Took six months to complete and launch. Studied wooden boat magazine and you tube for a while and decided to try it for myself. Dimensions:14' 1/2 ft length, 6 foot beam. Five ribbings for skeleton frame constructed of oak. Chines and gunwales of maple. Transom of oak. Plywood from Lowe's 3/8". Covered in six ounces of fibreglass wet thoroughly with epoxy resin. All joints are screwed and glued w epoxy and stainless fasteners. Wood, fasteners, epoxy resin,and cloth all totalled around $800. The greater expenses really became the trailer and new Merc 9.9 which totalled another $3300. Still having launched this boat nearly a hundred voyages, the experiences and time have been completely worthwhile. Someday when I get tired of repairing it's aging hull, probably have a campfire and build a better one!

Really really cool. Takes a thousand times more to make something than it does to buy something. Completely missing in 99% of today’s society. Great stuff.

That’s got to fill you with pride? There are dam few people around that could build a boat by hand these days and even fewer that would not only complete it but use it as a daily driver. That’s great!! I do have a question.
How much trouble did you have getting your boat numbers???
I’d love to build a boat someday.

Thanks for kind words! To get the numbers you call sheriff office, they send inspector out to look it over and issue boat identification numbers.
