Ok, so ive been looking for a cheap boat to work on during my slow season. I found a 15 (14'11") with title and trailer for 320 bucks. Figured the title was worth that much so I grabbed it. So far ive nearly gutted it and removed all kinds of wet foam and rotten wood. Blah blah, you see the pic. I would like to keep it as light as possible to help draft. I would like to add a front and rear deck as well as a slightly raised floor. Not sure about gunnels yet...
Question 1
Please share your honest opinions of this boat. I plan to use it for backwater creeks and mostly protected areas. Is the hull slap any worse then say a gheenoe or carolina skiff?
Question 2
I know there are many helpful rebuild threads out there but I can't find any that list the amount of materials used. I plan on using plywood from lowes because there are no marine plywood suppliers in my area (Daytona). I need to order my epoxy resin, glass, and fillers. I plan on using MarinePoxy. Any help with what and how much to order would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced
