Since I'll be on a mooring instead of a slip in the near future, I thought that I'd be needing a way to get out to the boat. I got on the internet and was browsing around to see what was available. I hadn't considered building but I stumbled across www.duck-trap.com .
Wow, these folks have the most beautiful boats I have ever seen. I just ordered one of their builders' CDs to see if I have what it takes.
Check them out. My favorite is the Salmon Wherry and I'm sure that I'll give it a shot.

Those sure are purdy. How much do you think that 10-6 lapstrake Rhodes Wherry weighs? Quite a bit, I bet! Sweet though.

weights...
Nathan,
the 10' 6" wherry is listed at about 155 lbs. I want to build either the Salmon or the Christmas wherry and they're looking at about 245 LBS or more depending on the length.
Not something that you could hoist aboard my Bahama, but I'd sure look good on my way out...
