Thanks for the advice guys. I think this message board is wonderful. I'm from rural Oklahoma and their is no way I could interact w/other builders without a site like this.
I've decided to go ahead and make my "boat of many splices".
Q#2 is do you fiberglass the ribs on the inside, and if so how? I did and its not very pretty. Luckily, I have planned on painting the inside all along.
I'm allready planning boat number 2. My woodworking skills are good, but man do I need to improve my fiberglassing. Boat number two will be much better. At first I was dissapointed with boat #1, but then again I've never done this before, it will still float, its still the coolest thing I've ever made and I don't know anyone else who's ever built a boat, so I guess its not so bad after all. I'll post pics, when I'm done.
