The Lady Bug design by Jim Michalak is intended to be a quick-onto-the water, plywood, house painted boat. Together with boatbuilder Greg Hopkins, we decided to upgrade some and use better materials. The plywood is marine grade, there are teak fittings and she is glassed.
Richard Maldonado chose the 13′ QT Rowing Skiff design by Jim Michalak (www.jimsboats.com) for his first build. He wanted to build a boat mostly from found materials, and except for the luan plywood that he purchased, everything else was recycled.
David Calloway wrote that a couple of years ago, he was infected with the boatbuilding bug. He spent many enjoyable hours looking for boats to build on the internet before he decided on Jim Michalak's QT design.
