Build your own 17' wooden boat - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The designer is Spira International out of Huntington Beach. The name of the boat is "Kachemak". Real simple design. The wood is simple kiln dried 2 x 4 and 2 x 3 with thin maple ply to strengthen the joints. The ribs are built stronger than the plans. I have enough marine grade ply for the transom only. It is the highest grade. I have two part epoxy for the joints but not enough for the fiberglass. I also have a draw knife for fairing that I can include. Oh yeah, I also have a safety kit that includes a safety suit, eye protection, gloves and respirator for you get serious about glassing the hull, and a finger joint router bit that I was planning to use to edge join the hull plywood. All yours for the price.
