: Hello, I am planing to built the Millcreek 16.5

Normand , have you checked out the CLC website for the "Owner's Club"? You can email owners of the boat and ask them directly what they think of 'em.

I built a pair of CLC Mill Creek 13s for my lady and myself from a set of plans. No complaints whatever, and we love our boats. She's a bigtime birder, and I'm a fisherdude. The MC 13s are excellent platforms for these pursuits.

Cheers,
Kurt Maurer
