the mersawa is only the exterior veneer, really can't be any worse than meranti or luan.......can it?

OK for those in Canada.....Peacock lumber in Oshawa carries this ply and he says that's all they sell to is boat builders. It is 5.2mm and less than $16 a sheet

seems to have a poplar core but can't find any more info

anyone ever heard of Mersawa plywood???? I'm gonna guess some type of meranti maybe. My last build was all scrounged/gathered/aquired ply so I have no idea where to get my ply for the next build. Building 2 boats requires me to do it on the cheap. Meranti at the box store is $20 a sheet

ha!!!! The world is a funny place, here I am wonderin if I;ll get the AOK to build another boat and now I'm gonna build 2 of 'em. One for each of my daughters. We have tandem plastic yaks and go out often, the kids love it so this is a good reason to spend some quality time with them. They are...

Nothing at all, well, except maybe laziness

haha so true hence my statement about requiring approval

oh you tease, new designs Chuck...talking to myself is a pastime I'm very familar with

slow work days like today are horrible for me, thank God I can't make any online purchases from my work computer. I haven't even bought the plans yet and gettin excited about a winter build

Just for interest, I built a standard UJ Pirogue and have fished the crap outta this boat alone and with either one of my daughters aboard. I also carry a trolling motor and battery along with all my fishin gear. I have fished calm backwaters and larger lakes with moderate chop The UJ is...

thanks Chuck...now ya got me thinkin back to sit in style kayak. Luckily I don't have to make a decision until the approval process is complete

wadefish, now to talk wifey into lettin me spend some cashola

Wait jus 1 darned minute!!! I did not see the sit on top yak plans on Jems site. Some more thinkin is now in order

well, being back in the workshop recently has got me thinkin and now I want to build a yak. So far I'm leaning towards the Freedom 13. I like the laker 13 as well but the larger cockpit of the Freedom will make for a better fishin machine. Just lookin for thoughts. This yak will be purpose...

prototype is together, still needs some engineering yet but seems vey functional

where were you when I started this messed up idea Jimmy Boy???? That there is a nice easy design I may have to make some modifications to the prototype. Thanks for the link, is it your design??

so far I have zero dollars invested, it's all scraps.

OK, a little more work on the prototype. It's looking like the prototype may be the final edition. Did some work on the rudder blade, gave it some foil so it will create less drag, it will be soaked in epoxy prior to assembly. I like the top steering mech although some shaping for asthetics is...

the drop down skeg will be similar to my idea for the motor mount

I give up :roll: :wink:
