I've read Danenberg's bible on restoring wooden boats and I'm looking forward to this project.
I've called Lakes Region Wooden Boats a few times, but no answer. Was looking to pick their brain on some costs and assistance. Any other good shops or even hobbyists to recommend on a project like this?
Thanks!
