JEM Watercraft

Hi Guys,

I thought I would say hello and what a valuable resource you have here. I've been lurking as a guest, reading many of the build logs, having a think about what I want to do, mulling over a few of the designs. I've finally jumped in and purchased a set of plans for the square end 'Stalker' described by Surfman viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1001

I'm particularly looking for a stable platform for photography, so will probably build in a tray to hold a waterproof pelican case for the cameras and kit.

I hope to be able to take some time over the winter to get this ready for a spring wetting. I'll keep you all informed with updates and photos. Perhaps in return you all might help me avoid some of the mistakes I'm bound to make (pre- )

Can't wait to see this get going, good luck and have fun.

Now waiting for the plans to arrive on this side of the pond. I think Matt said he would paddle across and deliver them in person .

Timber on order for delivery on Friday though 3 sheets of 8x4 4mm selected exterior ply (WPB) - couldn't find a local supplier of marine ply.

Can't wait to get started to be honest,

As a first time builder myself I can tell you that you will have a hard time thinking about much else for the duration of your build. Totally addictive and immensely satisfying. Welcome aboard!!

Some people have the willpower to resist.


I'm not one of them.

I could give it up any time I want, I just don't want to....

Plywood now safe and sound. Now waiting for plans to arrive.

I moved your post to stay with this thread.

Easier if it stay together if people want to research a build some time in the future.
