Strong. Under 50 lbs. All Fiberglass. Very stable. Perfect for Man-Power. Prototype was under 35 lbs. Nice, but not beefy enough IMO.

They Paddle very well. I can go 3 Mph without too much effort using a Kayak Paddle. Little less with a Canoe Paddle. As long as I can hide it inside the Boat I'm happy.

Geoff - Emailed ya.

Mike - I was referring to the Prototype. It was 33lbs, and I wanted a Boat tough, but around 40-45lbs. That's where they're at now. 2011 Replicas of my Grandpa's Boat.

This Fall is gonna be fun.
 
Hi Derek. Neat looking boat. If you don't mind, what are the specs on the length and width? How wide is the cockpit?

Cockpit Foam-Rails will allow for Transport on top of a Sedan with ease, and zero rubbing. Gas-Sipper Car's delight, is one of these Boats.

Mike, Tim - These are for sale this year in a very limited number.

I had so much interest in my Grandpa's Boat over the years I started taking names if I ever made a Mold, and Replica Boats. So far I am at capacity for Production, and I hate to turn Guys away. These Boats are in such high demand when Guys see them in Person that when I started making them it seemed like more of a Service to the Waterfowlers who wanted them than a Business move.

Now there is enough serious interest that I am planning to pursue it. Myself, and another Craftsman make them all by hand. Fiberglass Construction all the way with a touch of White Cedar. Really nothing to Rot, and my Original boat from decades ago has lasted quite well. The Modern Replicas I'm producing should be good for 40-50 Years IMO. Lightweight, sneaky, and really easy to handle. Great for 1 Guy, Jump-Shooting, and Layout-Style Hunting. Can also be loaded, and stacked on a Boat to access tougher areas after motoring to a distant jump-off Point...

If you Guys have serious questions, or interest just give me a call, or email.
