Default Pirogue question
I am planning on attempting to build my own pirogue. After a lot of research online and finding different plans, I was curious to know if anyone attempted this themselves. Any advice?

I built one, I don't have the measurements but wish I would have made it wider. I just followed a set of online plans, fiberglassed the seams, polyurethaned it, rattle canned it camo and called it good. Put a few eye bolts in it for tie downs in case she tips over. Don't have it at the house to measure it and I'm headed offshore tonite so I can't be of any more help. Pm me in a week if you want some pics.

I actually bought a kit from Stines lumber. It was only 25 bucks. It comes with plans, ideas, add ons, cypress keils and ribs.

Stines on Ambassador has the kit? My biggest problem is not having anywhere to build it I don't think I can swing that build in the living room in a 3rd floor apartment.

I built one from the Stines kit and can text you the pics I have on my phone. It is really easy to build. I went ahead and coated the entire interior and exterior with resin after I taped the seams. Wiped it down with acetone after it was good and dry and painted with a latex exterior paint. Send me your phone number and i will send you photos of the build. If i can answer any questions about the build let me know
