Welcome to the first post of boat building on a tight budget

This blog has been started to share my budget boat building adventures. I hope to be able to build a 1960's style ski boat for under £1500.
The boat in question is a Glen L design called the Rebel and can be seen Here. I am going to differ from the desgin by using cheaper timber that is readley available from the diy and builders merchants rather then use more traditional and expansive timbers.
