Introduction

This is a catalogue of my attempts to build a 17’6” (5.33 m) garvey hull bass boat.

Here’s a picture of the finished product built by Bob Gordon in Idaho USA:

I can only hope mine will look this good!

I have no previous boat-building experience. I have limited woodworking experience, and no experience with fibreglassing. There's a lot to learn, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.

I live in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
