: I have a friend who thinks he is ready to start building a boat. I showed him
: all the different designs I was aware of but he needs something better
: suited for rivers.

I don't want to over display my own toy... But I made mine for rivers & lakes, To go paddling & fishing, alone or with my wife or a kid (wife-paddling, kids-fishing) works & looks better than a canoe. on the link, click on photos... It's still the only thing that works on the site
