John,

Your canoe looks great. I didn't even know there were any glued lapstrake canoe kits out on the market.

: Hi!

: I know this is a kayak builders forum. But you folks have been so helpful I
: wanted to share my latest project with you.

: Attached are some photos of the canoe I built for my son. It is S&G Lapstrake
: construction. It is 14 ft long and weighs 54 pounds. I added brass bow and
: stern bands. dyed the top board and used brass "Old Town"
: diamond head bolts to attach the seats and thwart.

: Itwas built from a kit provided by Shearwater Boats.

: I think it turned out rather well.

: Keep Smilin',
