Chief Google "ron chapman shipwright" and it will get you to his sight.

these are pricey BUT.......we just thought we wore out after twenty years of hard use.
I say thought because, when I told Ron we wore out one of his pirouge's he refused to believe and agreed to fix it for us at a minimum cost.

We do not use go devils......we use pirouge and the get pounded loading and unloading in the boats.

These are the best I've seen and used.
However we hear Paw-paw's are great, but we have not used them

Mr. Chapman is a wonderful man and his product is superior. I've heard good things about Paw Paw's but they're pricey. I had mine made by a guy here in Texas. An extra wide pirogue for my extra wide arse.

I'd like to see one. If it's fiberglass, I'd like to get a mold. The design is simple and so is fiberglass.

Btw, I'm not trying to take away anything from this mans product!
