Awesome, David just picked up the same boat in Tan. Nice find!
Awesome boats. I've taken a 3 day trip in one.

Supposedly its 3 years old, been used a few times, was stored in a garage until recently when he ran out of space. It's got some scratches, was dirty and was missing a screw for one of the handles, but that's taken care of and I put the kids to work washing it.
I have intentions to make my own wooden canoe one day...

Plant a tree now. By the time you get to it you can make your own canoe out of a tree you planted yourself :grin:

Wooden canoes scare me. Rocks and wood don’t go together.

Yeah those Indians sure had a hard time using only wood.... Larry is right, with my list of things to do... i could grow, cut, mill, and build a unit and even make my own wood glue and fasteners...

Maybe you should 3d print one, since that technology is so easy and readily available :la:
Jealous of all your tools you have in your work shop.
I’ve been reading a couple build threads on Microskiff and hulltruth of people building boats out of wood, fiberglass and foam, mostly skiffs or flats boats but has me wanting to do some type of project like that one day. The plans or kits aren’t bad price wise.
Stumbled across this guy a couple weeks ago and he’s intrigued my interest. Cool project

Jimmy Diresta has been building a wooden canoe the past month and it's really cool...

Oh yea, my last trip was around 08. Have pictures of me crossing the forde and many others. Rode all around that place in my little YJ. Even watched a man cut his finger off on the slickrock ledge. Around 2004 was my first trip. My Dad and I went solo. Guess im gonna have to plan a trip

I actually designed several boats over the years. Mostly catamaran design. I still have the cad files around here some place.
I designed most of mine to be built from 1\4" thick UV resistant HDPE.
The catamaran style is very maneuverable, and displaces enough water to allow for some impressive weight capacity ratings.
Never have the time & money to add any more projects to the ever growing list!
This guy has been on the market for years!
