If you are staining some and not others as you build, do a test first for bleeding. I used Behlen Solar-Lux jet black dye on parts of my boats and epoxy causes it to bleed, run and lift. I had to pre epoxy those parts and let it cure before I epoxied the whole boat. Other stains and dyes may or may ...

The extra weight is considerable. But I attribute that to the magnets in the hatches as well as the glue and (hardwood) veneer. 25+ lbs over what the book specs for Endeavor. 68 lbs. Its not a big deal to me as I have to carry 50lbs of ballast when I'm day tripping without it loaded, just to sit it ...

Extreme Veneering
Many years ago I theorizied that inlaying/overlaying a boat entirely with veneer would allow for infinite design possibilities and look really cool. Well here are the results of my "Endeavors". Pun intended. I don't think still images do them justice so I uploaded a video to Youtube. http:...

Storage
I was just wondering where people keep their boats. My garage which is insulated would be an ideal place were it not for all the other objects in there. I am considering the crawl space under my house. It is about 4 feet high and I have a large locking access panel. I'm worried about the non climate...

telescoping ferrule?
Does anyone know where I can get a telescoping ferrule (hardware only)? I have seen the adjustable ferrules that allow you to choose a feathering angle. Chesapeake Light Craft has those. Many new manufactured paddles also allow you to adjust the length of the paddle. I want to build a paddle with a ...

cargo capacity - cubic inches
Does anyone know how much cargo capacity, in terms of cubic inches, are in the Endeavor and the Resolute. I am a seasoned backpacker and can easily visualize how much space objects take from years of loading my pack. I really want to know how the cargo capacity of these two boats compare to my pack....
