Re: Best Design for a Novice Builer?

Wow. What a great welcome. Thanks everyone. I took a look at the design section, and I think I've got a good handle on what I'm looking for: a flat bottom canoe for day/weekend trips on flatwater with 1-2 of my kids. (I have a 17 foot Wenonah Spirit Ii for bigger adventures). Any suggestions? And is...

Hi,
Any design suggestions for a first-time builder?
I'm a first time builder, looking for a 2 person canoe, and want to make sure that I'm setting myself up for success.
