You know, when you hear boats, you hear that "caching" noise. It doesn't have to be that way. The plans for boats typically run around 85 bucks. You can get other kits with the framing done preadvanced, but what fun is that? The supply lists aren't too unreasonable. The part I think is best is you can build it as you can afford it. If I was to buy a boat like this used or new, I would probably have to put down 8 grand for a used one or 8 grand as a down payment on a new one. Even if this boat costs me 8 grand, which I'm sure it will, probably more with all the hook ups, it will be worth it. As I told the people at Glen-L, I put my heart and soul into every boat I build and this one will last me the rest of my life.
The rowboat I had didn't work out. I have it, and it floats, it just won't hold up to all the things I need a boat to do. I never bought a Shamrock boat. I WISH! Shamrocks are awesome. This is the problem with Soundfishing.com's message board. Someone else with the studly name Patrick can post there. There is no registration so 30 people could use the same name. Same deal goes for the "Kayak in the race" post. I never made that post. If I did, I would admit it. Neither the Kayak in the Race or the "I got a new Shamrock boat" post weren't mine.
I don't have much of a social life. All I have is work, fishing and family obligations. Fishing can wait, not too many family obligations...
