I love my Yellowstone Solo. I paid $800 for it new in 2005. I'm in the same place or I might buy it,

No small boat builder ever seems to have enough clamps. I attended the estate auction of a long time canoe builder several years ago and...

Skin-on-frame is the gospel I preach. If you want to try one I'll give you all the help I can. Anyone can make one, everyone should make...

Rats, so I'd have to make a handful before I get a good one.....
