Are we off campers too?<br /><br />I'm either building another canoe, a variant of a sneakbox, a mini hydro, a fishing boat, a kayak, or a raft. But probably not a showboat :D

Well, that got your attention. My comment was about this page only.<br /><br />This thread is a message board thread about building boats. It is not a chatroom.<br /><br />Please stay on topic. :)

Thanks JB, back to boats. :) <br /><br />I'm thinking of using AB fir 1/4" for the sneakbox. I'll be able to work on the frames in the basement with epoxy while it's cold and work on planking in the garage during thaws. I still need to nail down an exact design for the aft frames.
