LARK
Launched June 1 at Lake Hall in Tallahassee, FL. Construction based on plans from Glen-L Amp Eater design. Decks are Cypress and Sapele, and the hull is meranti plywood. Powered by below deck trolling motor — instead of a tiller we used a Seastar system with a steering wheel. My wife made the top out of sunbrella fabric and my friend Bill helped me with the hard stuff. I built this boat for my daughter and son-in-law and we could not have had a better launch!
