Hi Russell, I have been following your build. I just wanted to say thanks for all the updates on your boat. I hope to build this same one here hopefully starting next year. Your post is a great encouragement! I am curious, what are you planning on using for an Engine? Good Job! Keep up the good work!

Looks Good Russell! Keep us posted, I am hoping to build this one in the future. I really like the design. Nice color choice! Keep up the good work!

Hello Everyone, I have been into wooden boats and boat building for a long time. I think it's an art, and a great way to create something an then enjoy it. I always admire you guys and gals who can build a boat from scratch. Its a true talent. I am entertaining the idea of doing an Outer Banks 24 from B&B and I have a few questions. These are from a newbie, so please excuse my questions if they come across as dumb or ignorant. My first question is, how many sheets of plywood do the plans for the OB24 require? Just trying to get a rough estimate as to how much this might cost. Second question: Does anyone have any pictures of the OB24, completed with the closed pilothouse? I really like the look of this boat, and the one thing that sold me was the enclosed pilothouse. (I am a boat/ship fanatic) I have seen some post on this forum that were about the OB20 and it looked like a really nice boat! I was just wondering if anyone has completed the OB24 and had some pictures that they wanted to share. Once again, thanks for taking the time to read this, and I am apologize for soundin like an amateur. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bob Haworth
