Testimonial from Mark in Israel

"As a kid, I had loads of fun with my dad on the water and for years I've wanted to build something like this. Finally, I found Aaron on YouTube and saw that he'd made his super detailed plans.

The Facebook group has provided incredible support answering all questions and concerns.

I’ve so enjoyed working for the first time with new materials: polyurethane glue, fibreglass & epoxy. I probably wouldn’t have done it without what Aaron has put together, he’s thought of everything.

Thanks mate!

If you are reading this, then you’re ready to start, you can do it! Buy the plans, if you don’t know where to buy the plywood, ask the Facebook group.

It’s such an enjoyable and rewarding project."
