I like to tell everyone that the hardest part of building a wood boat is actually deciding to make one. The 2nd hardest decision is which one to make. I might have those two decisions reversed. :wink:
I don't have a problem about building one, I have been building things with wood for forty years. I just was wondering if anyone had more input on the style as I like them all and I would like it to be as lite as I can get it without sacrificing strength. Oh come on Old Sparky you must have a opinion !!! Lol

I found the canoe that I like and it only took about 60 years and a lot of canoes to locate it. I made it in 2008.
The Sasquatch 14 that JEM Watercraft has.
Darn nice solo canoe , 14 feet and 30 pounds.
Here is my report on building it...........

Loads of them but they do not have anything to do with boats. :lol:
By the way I am 6 one and 214 ( was 230 but have lost some
) the Sasquatch will take myself and all of my camping gear and chow for a overnight or extended trip without any problems. Just remember ..... Canoes ( Boats ) are like cars or trucks , not everyone drives a Ford since all of us have different likes and dislikes.
