newbie boat buiding question

Small Boat Forum

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share you ideas and experiences.

Please excuse my ignorance as I attempt my first small craft.
Last night I started building a tiny boat to row the kids around our neighborhood lake.
Loosely based on the One Sheet Skiff plans on the net.
Since this is just for putzing around a shallow lake must I fiberglass all the seems or if it is glued nice and tight will primer and latex paint be good enough?
Again, I want to learn. Construction I know, epoxies, resins, & fiberglass I do not...
