Sounds like this one [ which obviously took more that 6 hours ] I especially like the flotation tanks. I think I'd give it a plub stern to go with the rudder.

Home Depot had some 1/4 in 'hardwood' plywood for $21 a 4x8 sheet. I have some left over 1x2s from SWIFTWOOD. I figure I can get it done for less than $100.

They way I look at it this will give me something to paddle ( and something to find all the stupid tree stumps with! ) while I work on SWIFTWOOD. It will also be my loaner boat for when friends visit, if they ding it up who cares.

BTW any thoughts on BONDO ( yeah as in car BONDO ) brand marine epoxy. Home Depot had a gallon of the stuff for $20!!
