Excellent job on your TT/boat! I love the 'playing with computer' art! Any thoughts of offering plans?

Hi and thanks for comments.

plans?

Hmm I think It would be better to wait and see until summer comes here norh so I could test it how it works.

I have made plan sets from two small sailboat and Thought that this is just fun building projeckt.

If it works why not. I just dount know do I have enough power and time to do fully detailed plans It will take quite lot of time ( spelling - huh ), so might go to next winter. But I can do somekind plans for sure, so you can build trailer - when would you need plans?

I'll be watching this one closely. :) I love this. I started something like this a few years ago but never finished it. I ran out of time and needed the space back in my tiny garage so the wood got turned into a canoe instead.

The plan,

Got started....

I'm looking fwd to seeing yours in action. :)

This definitely wins the award for the most unique build.

Great work.

Be warned, though, once you actually put it to use, you'll probably spend more time talking about it to people than actually using it!
