rogerd ... you are terrible! However, I just had the best laugh I've had in a while. Sorry Weblamer, it really is a bit of a tank. But its a lovely little tank.:)

The refernece to the freeboard was not in reference to the 3/4 inch ply ... although that is a bit of overkill considering some have used 1/4" balsa for similar boats. I was talking about the height of the sides of the boat from the water to the gunwhale. You could put bunk beds in that puppy and still stay dry!

(freeboard... check out that chine, this baby is built for speed!)

Yup, but I dare say if you put an engine on her, she may do lovely circles! Not going to track too well without a keel or skeg of some sort.
