That's actually right in the ball park for an F150 in Canada right now. I don't know how people do it. If I win the lottery over the Christmas break, I'm gonna get a new truck, buy that $7800.00 (more like 10 G's Canadian) canoe and tour all the canoe shows in the States. I'm gonna get a fleece...

Who is actually buying these things? Is there a select group of ultra rich canoeists out there? Most canoeists I have met wait to purchase until the bread is half stale at the grocery store and listed as 50% off.

Good post Glenn! I'm jesting of course when I call it the Devil's Dirty Double Blade, and I paddle with a fella who uses one, plus I like motorized canoes, but on the other hand, you will never see one of those fugly things in my canoe, it's like bringing a five dollar bottle of plunk to a wine...

Think I've asked this before, but when one is cruising along with the Devil's Double Blade, what sort of speeds are you averaging, let's say on flat water, minimal wind? On my gps, single sticking, I'm usually between 6 and 7 k and hour without trying too hard.

Good googly moogly....that is an insane price.

Wonder what a Swift canoe costs in Germany?

The real question is why would I do that? I have no interest in the double blade. Sure, I went to the dark side when I was young, I had a river running kayak, used it for a year or two then traded it for two cases of Alexander Keith's Pale Ale. I have a pretty loose moral compass in most...

No.

I frequent a large firearms forum. The vender forum is quite heavily populated. New posts in the vender forum also show up when one clicks on the general "new posts" icon. I know you mention it is not paid advertising, but on this particular site, vendors pay to be hosted. Generally...

Looks great! I'd skip the float tanks. Not necessary, and every little bit will contribute to a hull that will probably be on the heavy side just due to the size.

Beaver, Porcupines, Bears, Caribou, birds, fish, Moose all sh1t in the woods and sometimes in the river because they are innocent beasts of the forest, devoid of human sensibilities. A thousand or so humans congregated in a small area, swilling beer and voiding into the river should know better...

Interesting, looking a lot like J Winter's Raven, with a little less rocker. I'd probably like it, and if I my kidneys were still good enough to sell, I'd probably be able to buy one.

I took some white water training on the French River. IN one weekend, there were more people camped in my immediate vicinity then there were living in my town. Over the course of the first night, I saw dozens of people leaking it in the river, the same river we were filtering our water from...

I've only built stemless once, so don't have a ready suggestion for you, maybe Jim will chime in. Looking forward to seeing that hull once it is glassed, our tamarack up here has a lot of dark orange hues, the epoxy should make the colours pop. Are you going to use cherry for trim? Just...

Perhaps she was a urophiliac who was hoping someone would consolidate Pierre Berton's famous quotation with her, and finally make her a true Canadian.

I find if I'm snowshoeing, I don't need much real winter stuff. Even at -30, I'm usually in a pair of wool pants with long johns and a wool jacket type thing with a sweater underneath. I usually have a thin pair of wool gloves under a budget pair of leather mitts, the kind with no liner that...

Tamarack looks great! One thing slipped my mind...all of Martin's plans come with the idea that you will be using internal and external stems. I can't remember, been a while, but did he also include a line for a stemless build? With my new method of building stems from 1/8 inch laminated...

Lol, that's just something you don't hear every day. Well, in fact, never before.

Here's the OG, full Gangsta style, on Marshall Lake with us a few years ago. It's a No Kayak Zone, double stick at your own peril!

Not sure if I have mentioned it before, but Tamarac is universally despised up here as anything other than firewood, and even then it is approached with caution, as it burns so hot due to its resinous nature. It is well known for its inability to dry in a straight line, and it is very difficult...
