These plans include drawings, tool and material lists and written instructions for stitch-and-glue plywood-fiberglass construction. stitch-and-glue construction is well suited to the beginning boat builder. at approximately 275lbs. for a finished 15' boat, plywood-fiberglass boats weigh less than most aluminum or molded fiberglass boats.. If you want to add an outboard engine to your plywood boat you should pay some extra attention to the transom. in the original plans for most boats the transom is just too thin to hold an outboard engine. it would hold the engine at first but if you accellerate, the transom could break and you may sink the motor or even the whole boat.. Take a few sheets of marine plywood, some 2 by 4s, add a bit of imagination and a few available hours on a weekend, and you can build a plywood boat. a well-built plywood boat, with a reinforced transom on which to mount an outboard motor, can become a viable source of recreation for anyone who wants to spend some time on the water..
