Wow, how hard does it rain over on your side of the pond? ;) Seriously, I've been out in some pretty hard rains and it takes a long time to amount to much in the canoe. Unless it's really windy, you should be able to put down the paddle once every 20 minutes or half an hour and sponge/bail the botto...

Bosco, don't let Patrick's Dad bug you, he's just offering some good-natured ribbing. "Normal people" can take years to build a canoe or, in my case, a kayak.
I've spent more than the last two weeks just repairing my hatch latches on the kayak!
Cheers,
Bryan

I just checked my blog and it was exactly 2 years ago that I was varnishing my kayak. ( http://pawistik.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html ) There was a delay of at least a couple of weeks between epoxy and varnish, due in part to the slow pace of my boatbuilding. One reason for someone like me no...

It's great PR really for LV. Shows they are real people with a sense of humour and generates lots of positive vibes. Not to mention discussions like this one.

Re: Joining Oak for transom
... it will be supporting a 6 to 8hp motor, so roughly 80 pounds on the higher end. I have little actual insight, but just wanted to add the comment that it's not just the weight, it's the torque from the motor that contributes to the issue. Having said that, 1 7/8" oak should be very strong. ...

If it's something that's wide enough to fit another canoe, and if it's a nice job, perhaps you could sell it and build a new one? People pay a fair bit of money for a nice carved yoke, meaning that it may very well be worth your time to make a new one. Just a thought. Or maybe save it for that narro...
