Ted's Wood Boat: February 2012

Now this is what boat building is all about....fun on the water. All the hard work, time and money was worth it. What a great boat.

Don't You Have Something to Do?

My wife, Lynn, got tired of me always bugging her, so her famous line is, "Don't you have something to do?" Winter in Michigan can be long and boring if you stay inside. My first big project was the hot air balloon which took just over a year to build. Then, after 4 hard years working in my basement, I finished the airplane. After that, I built the kayak, which gave me the courage and desire that I needed to build a boat that was bigger and faster. Well, after giving it some thought and a lot of research, I finally decided on building a 14' Zip runabout. I really like old wood plank look and it is small enough for me to build it in my basement again. (The wife is not happy about the mess again, but she is very happy that I will once again have something to do).
