If you could build one small boat in your back yard, what would it be?
What material, and where would you use it, why, etc.....???

Could be built in about 450 pounds for a 50 horse engine... Protected

Looks a bit like a Whaler.

Can you build that shape with wood panels?


Absolutely, and absolutely... My intent was to build a boat that would
mimic the handling characteristics of a Whaler, with panels... It would
be a very simple boat to build. I was going to build it around the
bulkheads, so it would be built "self jigging"...
