Thanks Uncle Grump for the compliment. I to love the last picture.

It is not a Gator ( http://www.gatorboats.com/) design. It was not built with written plans. My first build was a Gator Croc. The skills and information I gained from that boat help me with the other boats.

I have two friends that are real boat builders and they guide and try to teach me. http://www.keithspirogues.com/

Lots of information from this site also; http://www.southernp...hpBB3/index.php

This site started me in woodworking.
