    Maybe I'll just build the thing the size its supposed to be and see what that teaches me for the next one.

        At the ebay site you can click the pic and double the size of the boat with no adverse effects.

          Maybe you could make it into a quadmaran?

            It's such a small boat that doubling its size doesn't seem like that big a deal.

              ...and the water Boni will be sailing on are very placid. I don't see much chance of breaking up in high seas when the waves rarely get higher than two inches.

                Right. I'll beef up the trusses that connect the pontoon things also.

                    What kind of tools are required?

                      I have a good set of cordless tools over there, with jigsaw, circular, drill. I'll need a sander and whatever it takes to apply epoxy and fiberglass. No clue about how to do that but labor is cheap there and somebody can be found to teach/help me. My bro in law is a fairly skilled carpenter and will use the boat for fishing, so he will help too.

                        Sounds like a good plan to me.

                          I have yet to see the actual plan. My bud who has pay pal and an ebay account is having trouble getting it active again. When he does he'll send it. If he does. If not, this place is on our island and I might could buy plans there, tho that could be $.

                              If I were you I'd still do a quick calculation of the displacement of the new boat before building it ... just to make sure you don't sink when you sit in it
