Thanks Chuck, Any bloke who can get a laugh out of shingles is a legend in my book. Bloody horrid things.

Mate, the finish was superb. I gave the ply a lite sand then saturated with epoxy before I styarted to fibre-glass and It came up a treat. Prior to epoxy, it was a "c" finish ply and a pretty ordinary "C" grade at that. Yeah My pirogue had a flat bottom and I put a small keel along the centre...

Mate, For the ply on my touring pirogue, I simply bought 2 sheets of 4mm exterior bracing ply from bunnings. Its a little heavier than Gaboon or even Luan but I think its a good compromise at a reasonable price. Re the epoxy, I use only West Systems Epoxy that I get from ATL COMPOSITES at...

G'day Jeff, like Chuck, I have built both a swampgirl and a couple of pirogues. I am also familiar with the waters you will probably be fishing. Just a suggestion, Why not build a pirogue first. You will have a superb boat to use while you ponder your next build. - and there WILL be a next...

David, Lakes Borumba, Boondooma and Somerset (and the creeks below then now after the floods) are alive with big redclaw. I have seen a lot of them pulled from Borumba with a body length in excess of 12 inches. Those in the know down there cut them in half lengthwise, season to taste and cook...
