Looking for a canoe design
wrote:
I am looking for a home built canoe design that is about 16' -17'
long. I do NOT want one of those "works of art" beautiful woodgrained
boats that you would be afraid to bang around on things. My boats get
hauled over oyster shells, banged on cypress knees, rammed into things
and generally abused. SO, I will paint it and probably expect to
repaint every two years or so. It should be a lake canoe for flat
water. I really like the old family 18' Grumman aluminum canoe but I
always have to go get it from whichever of my sisters currently has
it. So, something as indestructible would be nice. Suggestions?
Buy another aluminum canoe.
