Ordering process
simple and to the point. I recommend using RAKA to all building this
project. Just a brief overview of my build to share with any first time
builders reading this- My Pirogue is 13' in length. I widened it just a
bit to a 26" floor. I added another rib to accomplish this and it also
helped stiffen the floor. The boat is all 1/4 exterior plywood with a 1" x
2" rail. I fiberglassed the entire outside and inside seams. I added extra
layer of glass on the exterior bow and stern. I installed some skids on
the inside to help save the floor over time and a 7/8 oak dowel handle at
each end. Finally, the boat is painted with exterior acrylic latex from
Lowes and weighs in at +/- 50 lbs.
