Nice Kungfool. How does the coloured variations work. I will post mine shortly. FYI, should have some decent numbers of pheasant tails this fall, if my dog is working properly. Will post if I have enough to share.

Nick - Boat is both screwed and glued. The epoxy is used for sealing seams and screws. It is also used the glue together sheets of plywood. Dryfly - Your boat should be done soon. I just need to know color and if you want left or right hand drive. Bob - Cost of materials was about $850. That's for douglas fir hull and birch cabinets. Your big ticket items are wood and epoxy.

Nice pictures Clive. I spend alot of time around that area and have seen MANY bruisers. In my opinion, some of the best mulie bucks in Alberta. I have also seen sheds of some massive whitetails in that area, but never seem to find them still on the deer. I caught this guy last week, just across the border down south. Notice my talent versus dryfly?

I didn't have any plans. I just drew up some diagrams and used the slide show from Greg Tatman (gregboats.com) to follow. Tools used: Table saw Skill saw Jig saw cordless screwdriver/drill palm and belt sanders (the most important tools as I hate the sanding) Lots of hand clamps I used the West System epoxy resin which is available at Lee Valley and Glenmore Sailboats.

Thanks for the comments. Not sure of the hours spent, but I started early March and was done around June. If I had to estimate, maybe 80 hours. It was more enjoyable and will be building another.

I started this thread back on the AFF board looking for some initial help. Thought I would show my progress and how the boat turned out. The boat is not the perfect specimen, but performs well. Having trouble locating 9 foot oars in Calgary. More than happy to share my experience if anyone has any questions. Hope you enjoy. Pipes
