I didn't document my process very well, but I found encouragement from a website that used the same book as I did for a starting point[1]. I modified the design to make them into small sit-in canoes that you use with a kayak paddle like a Hornbeck [2]. I have a good friend with a few Hornbeck boats, and I really wanted something similar with out spending $1200 each on two boats. In the end I probably spent $1500 for the two boats in materials and put in about 15 person days of weekend labor, but it was a fun project. The boats look good, and are just rough enough that people notice that it is hand made.
