: I am considering building one of the subject boats.Any information would be
: greatly appreciated.

Both are big and quite roomy. I have a Chessapeake 18. Unfortunately, I am a bit on the small end of the big person scale though. Plenty of room to manuever in it. Tons of room and volume for packing gear for camping - like full cords of wood, etc...

The Queen Charlotte is rumored to be quite weathercocking due to the amount that the bow and stern stick up. I think CLC boat is more neutral with regards to weathercocking.
