: We’ve used a variety of wood. Port Orford Cedar, Cypress, African Mahogany,

Hey Roger

I wouldn't have thought that this method of measureing would lend itself to an excessively stable platform for his interests. Did you go entirely by the methods in the book, or did you increase the beam in order to give more initial stability? Juat Curious as I have a Morris boat on my mind as well.
