From Northwest Canoe Company the design company's website: Specifications Overall Length 16 ft. Rocker - Bow Stern 1 / ½ Beam at Gunwales 26½ in. Maximum Beam 29 in. 3 in. Waterline 27 in. Sheer Bow 16 in. Amidships Depth 12 in. Sheer Stern 14 ½ in. Approx Weight 42 pounds I do plan to build paddles, but they will be a while. If I was wise, I would have started on them in the spring/summer while still building up stamina and strength. I still have a but to do on the canoe. I need to sand down the final coat of epoxy, and varnish the outside. Then flip, sand, fiberglass and sand the inside. Then gunwales, decks and a seat. I plan to make the seat out of webbing and foam. I contemplated caning a seat, but I really don't believe I will. I do plan to use the slide board that made a bridge from the wheelchair to wherever I would move to a seated position as my decks. It already has holes cut out for handles. And I think it will be a good piece, as it was a big part of my life during this time. fishinwrench, kjackson, Gavin and 2 others 4 1 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction.

I had to sand the fill coats, (you can see the fiberglass weave), and a couple casualties (bugs). Applied a final coat, and glassed the stems closed. Gonna let the final coat cure about a week, maybe 2. Beautiful work of art. Well done! Daryk Campbell Sr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
