: Rose,

:I think you should check out Stillwater Boats.

They are pretty, aren't they?
Has anyone here ever built or paddled one? I'd have to build something with some pretty intense initial stability. If it's at all tippy, he'd be swimming for sure. Only guy I know who could flip a 17ft. Grumman in calm water.

: And you should probably build your dad's boat first, so you can make your
: first-time-builder's mistakes on it before tackling your own.

Good point. And it'd be good for karma points for the whole garage squatting thing.
