Anson,

There are a few of us in the west Michigan area who have a few boats under our belts and would be glad to give you a hand if you would like some help.

Donovan

: Tony,

: As a first time builder I have some questions.

: Is there a list of materials I need so I can calculate cost?

: Do we use 4mm or 3mm plywood?

: Is Okoume the preferred lumber? Are there options?

: What brand or quality of epoxy is recommended?

: Where are good sources of epoxy and glass cloth?

: Any other questions I'm not wise enough yet to ask?

: AND - - how much does this boat cost to build?

: Thanks, Anson
