Hi Bob

You didn't mention which style you/your cousin were looking for, but if you are looking for a stripper that's an easy build and ......... well, read up on Nick's own "Great Auk." That's my second-next boat and it looks to have plenty of room and should be very stable. But, you can read all that on the site or in the archives. Worth checking out....
