DADAKOTA Posted July 14, 2024 Posted July 14, 2024 Amazing craftsmanship. The old cafe was not a place for folks with a thin skin. Some truly good folks were on there. Get togethers were legendary. Daryk Campbell Sr 1
Daryk Campbell Sr Posted June 2 Author Posted June 2 Well, the day finally came. I got tontake it out yesterday. It did well, tracks more left while paddling. When cruising downstream it ends up floating backwards. I believe it may be due to seat position. I did catch 3 species of sunfish, on flies I tied on a rod I made, in the canoe I built. All in all, sucess. dpitt, Johnsfolly, nomolites and 11 others 14 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me) I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)

ColdWaterFshr Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Fantastic job! Looks very fast, and maybe a little tippy? I'm surprised there isn't a thwart to help keep those gunwales from flexing inward. I'm sure that its fun to paddle. Daryk Campbell Sr 1

I'm surprised there isn't a thwart to help keep those gunwales from flexing inward. I'm sure that its fun to paddle. Not really tippy, I thought it may be. I hemmed and hawed with the idea of a thwart. It doesn't seem to affect it noticeably, for now. I read people's comments on both sides of the idea, and decided if I felt I needed one I could add it later. I honestly don't have much canoeing experience to judge speed, but it's much faster and easier than the one man pontoon I made. And the 8 foot mouse boats I made.
