Hi all!  I'm Josh. Ive recently decided that I am going to Build A Weekender in the middle of the great USofA!!! Ive been doing quite a bit of research and have decided that for my needs/ wants, the weekender is the perfect little trailer cruiser for me!  I dont have a lot of experience with boats, or with building with wood. I did however work as a mechanic for a number of years, and have built a few things and still have that need to create things.  So why a boat? Why not a table or something useful around the house? I suppose you could blame the author Clive  Cussler for my love of all things boats, ships, or that which lives in the sea. He has an amazing way of describing a vessels graceful flowing lines. So, now I who live in Kansas must have a vessel of my own. Ive looked at a variety of pocket cruisers, including thepocketship and the lynx 16.  The one ship that jumped out at me was the weekender. It has everything that I desire in a vessel, and I look forward to beginning my building!!

Welcome to the madness, Josh.  I was bitten by the bug in 2001 and never looked back.

Welcome,

Richard is right about the boat building bug, it's terminal.

Welcome Josh!  I can't help a lot on Weekender's specifically, as I've only finished a Mini-Cup, but I wish you the best on you project!  Enjoy it and make sure that center line is DEAD ON!
