My first boat - Portuguese Dinghy
This is my first boat building project. I used Hannu's Porteguese Dinghy plans. I made a few changes, like using 1/2" thick transom vs 1/4". I also added 2 runners/keels - it makes the whole boat much more rigid.
She rowed and motored (10# elect) well.
Since I didn't let the paint cure long enough - everything below the water line peeled off! I've sanded her down & I am repainting her now.

That's a nice boat Randy. Love the color... I made a builder's log category for you and inserted your photos.
