Visited my Brother and while I was at the house I saw the first 2 boats I ever built sitting on a shelf in his man cave they aint pretty, but hey they are still holding together. I told him the day I gave them to him that they were dust magnets. The oars are missing from the canoe said his son used to play with the boats in the tub and pool. I never gave much thought to them actually floating, but he said they do.
