I think you should definitely document it and do a "build-along" here. You'd be surprised how much good advice you'll get if you post the pics as you go!

I can just say the best of luck to you Zach. I finished my boat when I was 20, so it can be done by young people with little woodworking experience. My advice to you is find someone in your area who has built a similar boat and check out where they…

Don't buy an anchor, but do buy an anchor release system. In fact, it would be wiser to install it, or make provisions for the install at the time of build, rather than later. If you are building in Aug you should be able to epoxy through…

The kit comes with oars and is the anchor system something that is a definate need? I can get the registration and trailer the next year. Money isn't looking as tight any more with a good month of work this month and finding out that I can pay…

Zachary: Glad to hear of your plans. Reading your post is almost like someone asking "how do you build a house and what materials do you use?" In other words it would take hours to answer. I suggest you take advantage of the available…

New Boat Builder/Senior Project

Let me start off by introducing myself to all of you on this wonderful website. I live in Northwest PA and am a junior in high school. In my spare time I hunt anything and flyfish and centerpin for as many species as possible.  As some of you may know we have steelhead fishing here and it is my passion. There is also the Clarion River and Alleghany rivers Im planning on floating for trout and bass when I build my boat. I am seriously contemplating the options of building a drift boat. The kit I…See More
