This is the “Sea Rover” from the Science and Mechanics Boat Builder Handbook (circa 1958). This was built over the past 2 years. It is plywood over oak frames. I had actually built the 15′ version of this boat when I was 13 years old. Now that I’m in my 60s I wanted to recreate the boat I had so much fun when I was younger.
I intend to use this all along the New Jersey Coast, Barnegat Bay, Great Bay, Mulica River, Shark River,
