What better way to spend a sun filled day than on the water in your own boat? Many thousands of people have built their dream craft from readily available construction plans.
   There are three main kinds of materials to build boats out of. They are:
* Aluminum
* Fiberglass
* Wood
   Aluminum boats are very popular because they are easy to build and hold up very well against the elements. Usually only simple hand tools are needed to construct them, and can be as modest or decked out as you wish.
   Fiberglass boats are the ones with the shiny polished and curved surfaces, and can be customized to suit any taste. Building the fiberglass boat is easy with the right plans sets, and although some of the glassing process can get tedious, the overall experience is one of satisfaction.
   The wooden boat is a thing of beauty, when the right care is applied to building them. Wood boats are easier to build nowadays, thanks to all of the inexpensive wood working tools available.
