Karl,
If your looking for a good book get a copy of
Gougeon Brothers Book on Boat Contruction.

It would be a good start.

If you have any specific questions shoot me an email and I'll answer what I can.

Regards,
Phill

I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.
There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!
