Thank you very much for that answer and explanation. I will pick up a couple deck plates and save the foam for future door and window instalations.(in homes, not pirogues :D )

If I enclose an area of my boat,do I have to ventilate it if I fill it with foam?

As Fran Tarkenton would say,"that's incredible!" :shock:

Mike, I would love to do an Ozello trip but the word is Cedar Key is looking good. Either would be great though. I'm sure a couple of the P-F.com guys would like to go also. For most of my exploring and fishing I'll probably stick with the kayak. The pirogue is more for those quick trips...

Well I have jumped in with both feet. :shock: I recieved my Uncle John's kit a few days ago and got started yesterday. I ordered my stuff from Raka yesterday 10/3 at lunch and it was at my house waiting when I got home today 10/4 from work. :shock: DANG!! So far I only have the plywood...

I think the beauty of building one of these boats is that you can do what suits you. If you want to experiment with maybe a teardrop shape that might be cool. Maybe one of these experienced fellers here will have some insight that may save you a disaster though. :D

Upload your video to Photobucket.com and just post a link. I would love to see that. if you're lost, e-mail it to me and I'll try to post it for you. BTW-I think I'll start a thread for my pirogue build.

:D Already got a name picked out and everything. Dog Paddlin' I think it fits since I was looking for a boat that I could paddle with my pup when I decided to build a pirogue. I doubt I will get rid of my SOT kayak anytime soon. I don't think the pirogue would make a good tarpon fishing...

All the talk of Louisiana sure does make me homesick. Could somebody send me some homemade etoufee? :D Hey here's a goofy question,is Price LeBlanc still alive? :D

I ordered my materials today from Raka. I got my kit/plans in a few days ago. I put the ribs together and ripped the plywood today. I would have prepped the scarf joints but it started to rain. :( I am really looking forward to getting this going. :D

Yes. I am planning on making it 14'6" with the forth rib. Glassed inside and out. (for strength??)

I want to order the materials I will need to build my boat but I am not quite sure how much of what to buy. epoxy-how much Fiberglass cloth-size/weight?? Should I just call Raka? Will they know what I need for a pirogue? I feel stupid asking such a question that is probably very...

If you do go the trolley route,use Harken blocks.(pullies) You will thank me. :D Before I started using blocks,I avoided use the anchor/trolley because it was so stiff and hard to pull.

Here is a great alternative to an anchor trolley from one of our buddies at Paddle-fishing.com. http://paddle-fishing-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=16631
