Make a mount to mount the motor to one side of the boat. http://www.ehow.com/how_4450467_make-canoe-motor-mount.html

That seems to be how Mick was counting the 5 panels. His build thread for the P5 is here. http://www.jemwatercraft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1975 I came close to ordering plans for the P5, but then Matt came out with the asymmetrical Touring Pirogue T and I built it instead.

They are called a colt, same as a young horse.

Most of the other pics on this thread have disappeared, but here it is on the water. Great job Oyster.

That was probably a solar powered Sterling engine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine YouTube has quite a few videos of them. A short one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq6iCO9KLKA&feature=related

Good looking boat, Dave.

I don't know what bmdd is. The Southern Yellow Pine would work, but you don't need the tongue and groove on it if that is what the t/g means. Where are you located? Look at the wood trim at Home Depot if you have one of them near you. 3/8 inch ply will make for a pretty heavy pirogue.

I have an old roll up grill similar to these except mine isn't stainless and doesn't have legs. They are handy to pack. http://www.arctic-fox.com/sitepages/pid67.php

Sorry for your lost. I still miss Sam who died a few years ago at 13 years old. My present dog Tip is a very good dog though.

In some parts of the country rocks are hard to come by. Could probably get by with less wood and would shield flames from wind. I don't own a wood stove, I tend to use a grill and fire like you. I have started carrying a small alcohol stove for quickly heating water or soup, etc.

Greybeard, I thought about Colin the other day myself. I once read that he said that the perfect race car should be built just strong enough to get to the finish line in one piece and then fall apart after it crossed the line. Excess strength = excess weight. Many of his innovations are still...

Ancient Kayaker showed us a couple of years ago his 12 foot canoe.

The balsa core even though brittle would add strength because of its thickness. Quote from Wikipedia: Jimmy

We still don't know just what the rules call for and how are they going to judge serviceability? Something along the lines of Steve's lightweight glass covered Kraft paper is likely to be lightest, the extra thickness of a material like balsa would add some strength. If Kraft paper isn't allowed...

Beekeeper, I can't answer all of your questions, but there are other ways of making lightweight wood boats. J.H. Rushton and others were building lightweight boats back in the 1800's without epoxy or fiberglass. At least some of Rushton's boats were planked with 1/4 inch thick by around 4 inch...

It is not decked, but have you seen this canoe on Michael Storer's site. 11 feet and 12 pounds. http://www.storerboatplans.com/Balsacanoe/Balsacanoe.html I have a number of sheets of 2mm plywood that I have been thinking about using some of for a Laker. Using that with just taped seams would...
