As we have received many requests to display a single project from start to finish, I have decided to post a list of links to full project compilations. They are individual areas of the project as a whole, kept as separate as possible.
Due to time constraints, the flow of the text may be a bit jumpy or reference things that aren't actually on the page, but will be shown from top to bottom in the order of construction.
I hope some of you will enjoy a more focused look at the completed boat projects that may interest you.
