Boat building

I forgot to mention in my first entry that I like to build small boats. I have built two. When I can find a picture of my first one I will post it. I have built a 7' dinghy. As I tell everyone, the 7' dinghy looks every bit of 5' long when I am in it. I am tall, 6'5" to be exact and it looks tiny with me in it, but it floats. I also have built a 14' long flat bottom canoe. I have used that the most. It is a bright yellow canoe so anyone can see me from anywhere close by. I am working on building a 15'6" Jon boat made out of cypress planks and coating it with fiberglass. I have been working on that one for more than a year. It will be done eventually.
