Mike,
I know what you mean about not having time for the boat. In my case it sits in my basement still in pieces. My wife underwent a bone marrow transplant and her recovery ate up the winter months. Insurance did not cover everything so I had to work longer to keep up. This summer has been hectic and I am threatening to sell all of the materials but my wife (bless her) won't let me.
I hope all goes good for you on your move and the building of your new home. If Lake Dreamer is any indication I,m sure it will be a beauty.
Better build a shop large enough for the new Bateau project.

Duke,
Good to hear from you. I have been wondering where your boat was at.
I trust your wife is on the road to full recovery now. My wife is also very supportive and has accepted that we will be looking for a large block of land for our new home, with a shed on it big enough for me to play in....!!
Cheers,
Mike

Re: Another FL14 started!
I am so inspired by this build! Can someone point me in the right direction ...
Thanks!
So I take it I can find solid meranti somewhere to fashion the rub rail ... is there another name for meranti? I've been getting some confused looks. What was used/should I use for the lighter contrasting gunwale deck, exterior fir?"The sun has shone this weekend, so we managed to get the inside of the boat painted white. The meranti rub rail and inside trim with a contrasting lighter gunwale deck has turned out quite nicely."
Thanks!

Get used to confused looks when you tell others what you want materials for...."You're gonna build a what!?" is what I get a lot. My local lumber yard did some "research" and came up with "Okume siding" they said, " That'll work for you plywood won't it?"
