If you decide to go with this model you may find the description Putz gives for constrution his building forms to be a bit difficult to follow. I've translated his description into simple coordinate numbers that you can easily plot. You should be able to find the URL for these by searching the archives, but if not, e- mail me and I'll send you the URL.

With Putz's plans you'll use just under 2 full sheets of plywood for making the forms. Rehd has taken the coordinate numbers and was able to cut all his froms from 1/2 sheet of plywood. Potentially a $30 savings. On a boat that typically costs under $200, this is a significant additional saving.
