Seasons Greetings;
Thanks Rhed,Rick & Sam.I'm going to try a post with pics at picturestage
Afew days ago when I was getting all the help our key board was drenched with tea, hence the delay It's now been replaced.

I think the boat is a couple of inches too deep but I will give it good go before starting another one.

The gunnels were a 16' 2x4 ,the ribs are spruce lathes. the lashing is poly twine the canvas is 10 oz and the paint is latex . The coaming is hickory.

All in the material costs were about $50.

Thanks to all for your much appreaciated help.

Happy New Year Terry
