Customers' Dragonfly Photos

I am exceptionally proud of this boat and the Dragon Fly as I have never constructed anything of worth in my 62 years. I am a retired college professor and have a bad left arm from a wound I received in combat while in Vietnam.

Your plans made a big difference, I am going to put a 34# thrust MinnKota Trolling motor on this boat.

Henry,
Here are photos of my first Dragonfly.  Fabrication time was 22 hours, and two weeks for stain, poly, epoxy and paint.  I rounded over all the interior edges and ran the floorboards to the transom.  Everything else is to plan.  Materials are clear pine, AC ply and birch ply.  I gave this boat to my daughter Chelsea.  At this time I am fabricating two more Dragonflys.  Each of those are a little different.  When they are completed I'm going to order Bullfrog plans.
Thanks for all the advice, I will be in touch................Frank

NOTE:  Mr. Baker built his Dragonfly (below) with reinforced transom, then laminated 1/4" cedar strips over the exterior of the ply skin.  This results in both a stronger hull and a very distinctive appearance.  -Henry

Here are a few pics of my Dragon Fly. I started and spent all day yesterday and then a few hours today. Had to quit 'till I can get some more screws in the morning.
Tomorrow I plan to install the other floor piece and the sides and then fill and glass the whole outside. What a blast!
All in all, I'm pleased with this set of plans. (I'll let you know about the others as I build them!) Heh, hee, hee!

Thank you,
Robert Westbrook
