White Salmon Boat Works has been building boats for many years, and we have spoken with a variety of different types of want-to-be builders, either at fairs, shopping malls, boats shows, or with the person who walks into our boat shop. So throughout the years we have developed what we think are a few good time tested kit scenarios for our customers. We use only the finest of materials in each kit we put together, such as: Tight Bond III glue, System Three Sliver Tip boat builders epoxy, Z - Spar's Flagship Varnish, full length vertical grain clear and knot free western red cedar milled to`1/4" x 3/4" x ? - length of the boat selected. Our kits prices may cost a little more than many other kit builders, however when you compare the contents of our kits with other providers, you will easily see the value you receive. We are THE ONLY kit provider that supplies the complete strongback and the saddle supports. We build the strongback, forms and than we align everything so it is perfect. Next we disassmble it, build the shipping crates,place all the pieces into it then we ship it.. If you have any specific questions about out kits, please telephone our workshop at (509) 493-4766 or send us an e-mail (dreamboats@gorge.net). We will be happy to help answer any and all questions you may have. Let us get you started on building your Dream Boat today.
