Don't forget flotation. Most aluminum alloys don't float.

Hi Folks,

I'm new to the group, so if this is in a FAQ, let me know and I'll start
there.

My family would love to own a canoe, as we've typically borrowed ones up
till now. I've been learning welding over the past year, and thought an
aluminum canoe project just might fit the bill, and help keep costs down.

Any ideas, websites, online plan sources, and/or books folks would
recommend?

TIA
Steve

Hi All,

I want to thank everyone who either posted here, or sent me a note
privately.

At the same time (as the original post), I posted in a local buy/sell group
to see if anyone had a canoe for sale. I've got a line on a very
reasonably priced one in my area, so I'll probably just grab it up and save
my boat building for a little bit longer.

Thanks again.
Steve
