Both the Teal and the Toots are excellent boats - since they have different purposes (the Teal is designed as a sailboat that can be rowed, the Toots is a rowboat) I can endorse either one equally.

BILL OF MATERIAL for Toots or Teal

  • (2) sheets of plywood
  • (1) 14ft 2x6 ripped into 8 .5x1.5 (12ft for the Toots)
  • (1) 2x4 (can get by on 4ft for Teal, 2ft for Toots)
  • (1) 8ft 1x4
  • (2) tubes of PL Premium glue
  • (1) tube PL Concrete and Masonry Patch (to caulk the interior seams)
  • (250 or so) toothpicks
  • (1) small bottle of Gorilla Glue (or other expanding, urethane, waterproof glue for the toothpicks)
