17' boat building project

Nice! I was thinking this winter of doing one of those Brockway style skiffs. What plans did you use, I like the V rather than the flat bottom..but my boatbuilding skills may not be up to something more complex like yours.

My plans are from Bateau.com. They have plans and kits for a wide variety of boats and skill levels.

Thats the thing. I know almost nothing about all the mechanical aspects of a fully equiped center console fishing boat.

Wiring, pumps, fuel lines, steering etc. But I am eager to learn and looking foward to it.

Another picture here of my oldest son and myself just before the flip.

Awesome job!

Love to watch the progress on this.
