Marcello, I am in the middle of building a barrelback 19' mahogany runabout - one of Ken Hanksinson's designs. I looked around at quite a few and settled on his. He has the most complete selection of designs, and there are many people who have successfully completed them. I am almost done building the frame -should be ready to start planking in a week or so. If you are in the boston area, stop in to see the progress. The correct link to Ken's page was listed above.

I have a very interesting link shown below to a guy who is building a runabout and he's done a nice job of documenting his progress. He has been very helpful when I had a question.
