Thank you for the thought.
So far I have the plans, the Glen-L "Boat Building With Plywood" book, a good chunk of the tools necessary (Jared is a woodworker and I believe he'll be helping me as well), the fastener kit, and structural epoxy. I just need the thinner epoxy for encapsulating, maybe some microbeads for fillets, wood, paint, etc.
If I can save up a few hundred bucks in the coming months I can buy the materials for the transom and framework and get started on that this winter
