I've built smaller boats (30 foot) using cold-molded epoxy construction. For an experienced person with a helper and the proper tools, a small team c...

Hi Ang: I appreciate your post. I actually hadn't thought about the wildlife in the water. I was considering a wooden boat, but after your post I wil...

Alix - I'd agree - definitely escalate this to a manager, because they shouldn't have told you this. I asked the manager of the Boston Verizon store ...
