I never did get around to post an "after" picture.

Very nice! I like the clean, flowing lines. It has a classic (flared sides and curved stems) pirogue vibe. The natural finish you used gives it a handcrafted look.
Did you get a final weight?

53 lbs. , 25" bottom , length -15' 8", 25 degree flair , approx. 15' 2" at waterline. The floor length doesn't really correspond to a normal pirogue floor length.

Good Job , That's one sharp looking Pirogue. If it paddles as great as it looks you will go along without any trouble.

Thanks for the compliments. It did paddle very well. Very stable, tracked straight and turned pretty decent, too. I didn't keep it long, though. It was really too long for my use and really cumbersome to store. I sold it for a LOT more than I had in it. This next one will be quite a bit shorter. I think that will fit my needs better.
