In Response To: Like Sawing a Lady in Half! (Rob Macks)

Since you seem to be getting you answer and things are going off topic anyway, Neil Hartling has done the same to create voyageur canoes he uses on the Nahanni River. The tuperware tubs fit inside one another for transport then bolt together. Did try paddling one and it did eddy turns like a snake. There are also pictures kicking around of one with a few extra centre pieces giving at least a 50 foot boat.
As you can imagine, the joints slow the boat but otherwise a decent solution.
good luck
don
