Mike,
Every boat has a piece of it that is tough to build. If the sea Wolf is the one that is tugging your maritime heart strings then go ahead and build it. None of this is rocket science. Basicly it putting one strip nex to the other and sanding it. If you get stuck there is plenty of help to back you up here on the friendliest BBS on earth. :)

YEah craftsmanship and attention to details and skills are all part of it, and will make for a prettier apearance. But the bottom line is to put a boat in the water that you really want to paddle. If the sea wolf is the shape and the performance and the operational characteristics you want,..... then look at the tough part of the deck as the problem you'll have fun working out.

I truly beleive that if you can put two pieces of wood side by side you can build any boat you want.

As I always say. when this question arises 1) Build the boat you really want.
2) You can build the boat you really want!

Go for it and post lots of pictures
