Update..Last weekend, I cut the molds for the Rice Lake and built the transom blank and cut the stem strips. Couple of thoughts...this is a lot larger boat. The outside stems are 1.5 wide x 1 inch thick and the inside stems are 1.75 x 1 inch. I went ahead and glued up the transom blank out of 1.5 x 2.5 in solid mahogany. Looks nice but so much for weight! For perspective, here's a pic of center station 0 from my Bob's Special compared to the corresponding center station 7 from the Rice Lake.

Dave,
I enjoyed seeing those pictures of your canoe when you first finished it. I'm sure this boat is going to look great also. How big of a motor are you going to hang in it?
