This is an interesting build. It would be interesting to compare it to the last two pirogues I built. They are very close to the same length and the max. beam is the same. The pirogues have the sides flared 30 deg. off vertical. One is soft chined. One is hard chined. What is the flare of your first panels from the bottom?

Well from inside the boat the first panel (in the center) is raised up 20 deg.
Wile wating on epoxy to glass the inside of the boat.....
Cleats for the side deck panels (taped inplace to se what they look like..The side decks will only be 4 1/2'' wide..
Notched out to hold fishing rods tucked up under the side decks..

Graceful rod holders and deck braces - all rolled into one! Add a beer spiggot, and I think you have a winner.
swampwood said:Really like the idea of using the deck bbraces as rod holders too. :idea:
Hay: swampwood the Millcreek has a narow side deck to it.. how much deck is their along each side of the rear seat and cockpit space back their?
This monster has about 10' in cockpit length
That is going to be one sharp looking boat when you get her done , piratical paddling and fishing boat also.

I agree with Chuck.
The more I look at this boat, the more I like it.
The Brazos River seems to be remarkably similar in paddling conditions to many of our rivers here. I think this design would be a winner here too.

Thanks guys...It is coming along..got to get er done ..weather is changing fast... not like last yr.I was on the Little Niangua at the end of Oct. wade fishing floating etc....A month from now no telling what it will be..
After routing off the excess overlap, I use a scrap of plastic laminante taped to the side to prevent hiting the side panel with the belt sander..
Real rough looking with epoxy goop everywhere and a coat of epoxy on the deck...
Tomorrow ..sand ..sand..sand...
