My homade canoe.

[treestand13]

This is a canoe that I made with my buddy about 4 years ago. It is a bit on the heavy side but very stable It is just a little over 12 foot long and wide then most canoes in the middle. The top pic is one end of it, then we put the two ends together after we widen the middle. I love this thing for trapping and river fishing

[yooperdug]

You did an outstanding job karma for the craftsmansh! ;D

[treestand13]

Thank you. The gray seat you see in it was a patten for the one my buddy made for me also camoed. I had both my hip replaced that march of the year we made it. the seat was a good sent that fall very comfy. The camo is just Cloth that we fiberglassed on. Like I said I love this canoe. You cant buy one like this. The flat seat are full of foam that they use inside of boats. I have had My two sons my self and one Of my sons girlfriends in this fishing on a river. Not much room for gear but it held all this weight no problem. I would not do this every day.

Craftsmanship lol, what was the building process?

[treestand13]

We used an old half of a canoe that we pvd over. A step that stops the fiber glass from sticking. We put layers of glass over this. then pulled it off when hardened. After both ends were done they were split in the middle to widen the center. then put together and fiber glassed over. Once this was done I added the keel. This was also glassed over. The hole thing had more glass added in layers. This was sanded down smooth. . We made a wood mold for the inner seats, using the same steps as above with the old canoe. foam was added to the hollow are under the seats. These were then glassed in. The finishing touches were done on the in side. everything was then gel coated green Then the cloth was add and glassed over. My buddy then made the seat for me like the gray one and that was added. We then added the ash to the top. end caps were added later on. many hours of work.
