I finally finished my Mill Creek 16.5. In order to keep the cost low and because I didn't have local access to Okume plywood, used 1/4" luaun plywood for hull. Couldn't bend the 1/4" luaun for the deck, so stripped it with Cedar Strips. Took it out yesterday for a short paddle and I think I will have many hours of fun paddling it. I mounted the seats and foot rests on two wooden rails so they can be easily adjusted to fit the paddlers or to adjust the seat when I paddle it alone. Some pictures of it are posted on the site attached.
