Don Aguanno is doing a beautiful job building his SWEET 16 in wood/ply in Michigan. Power is already installed - a 12HP 2 cylinder Westerbeke with 2:1 reduction gear. Next will come the pilothouse which he has already built separately and will soon drop in place (we're hoping for more photos of that, Don!) Says Don, "This is the 3rd boat that I have built and I must say it's been the most enjoyable and a great learning experience." Don hopes to build yet another tug which he plans to do in steel.
