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.

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.

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.
