Building the frame

You may have already figured this out, but one does not simply build a boat on the ground. You need some sort of a platform or frame. And, so, I&rsquo;ve built a frame to build the boat. The frame is just over 15 feet long, so I picked up some 16 foot 2x6 boards. While one could have joined a couple of 8 foot boards together, it just seemed easier to buy the longer boards from the get-go.
