You should give it a try. I'm not an accomplished model builder or woodworker. This lake boat will be my largest model I have ever built. Most of my experience came from doing home improvement projects. I've built an Emperor grandfather's clock back 37 years ago and a few small Bartley furniture kits, but most everything else was rough carpentry.
After the lake boat I need to build a 2 track car float, about 5 feet long which will hold up to 10 forty foot cars. I will use it as a fiddle yard for extra storage.
