    HELP!

    It's a three rib. Sorry. I'll try to get pictures. I'm building it down at my dad's old shop, so it'll be next week before I can get pictures. Yes, they are turned in the right direction. And I did try moving it aft a bit. It seems to fit better, but the boat end up looking pear shaped. I...

    HELP!

    Okay, I've got the bow and stern screed and glued, and I'm ready to put in the ribs. But they don't lay flat and snug against the sides. I can get two of them to lay as they are supposed to. But last one just won't. Only one edge the touches the sides. I butted the sides using two 1/4 inch...

    Green lights

    Yeah, true. for that price I could get a fly fishing setup. Although I did find this reasonably priced light set: http://www.fishinglightsetc.com/ I'm just nervous about being out on the water at night in a skinny little pirogue by myself.

    fly fishing

    Any of you guys fly fish (freshwater)? I'm interested, but no one around here fishes like this. Where do I go to get started in fly fishing. How expensive is it to get started? I'm mostly interested in fishing for bluegill.

    Outrigger question

    A neat version would be to add a 4 or 5 foot mini pirogue something similar to an outrigger sailing canoe, but without the sail. Here's a good picture of what I'm thinking: http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/garyd/

    Advice please

    Hi everyone. I'm new, and I want to build a pirogue. I weigh 270 lbs and want to haul 20 to 30 lbs of gear for fishing and camping. Can a 14 footer with an extra rib handle that? If not, what do you think would be the best length and width? I'll be the only one using the boat, so no need...
