    My UJ Pirogue is done! UPDATED with on the water shots

    9 days, WOW! That must be a new record! Mine took about 2.5 months working on it only an hour or two a day, some days more, but I wanted to give the epoxy plenty of time to cure and there was always that 4 letter word getting in the way(W$@k). TG, you got yourself a right purty boat. :wink:

    OK..Here is a Pirogue question for pirogue builders.

    Well Chuck, that is a good question. I still need to final sand and varnish. But If you don't count all the sweeping and vacuming in my case :shock: it's still gonna be high.

    TG, try to find a $400 plastic boat that's gonna turn heads like your pirogue will. Please post some pics, we really want to see your handy work. Also you might want to wait a couple of weeks before varnishing to let the epoxy cure out. At least that's what I was told to do. It's been about 3...

    Oh well Mike. Like that little curly redhead says, 'Theres always tommorow'. Better to have everything ready and be rested than get down the road only to find you forgot something. Good luck!

    The moment is near. Mike will attempt a 90 yard cast with his 9 wt. into a raging head wind fueled by thunder claps and lightning bolts. He braves the fury of the sea and all she bares as his line punches a hole staight and true through the parting clouds only to land just in front of the...

    Wow, Did I miss somethig here. I should have read your posts before going to the site.

I am sure he does not need the money from sales nor will he...

    I am in utter suspence waiting to hear the results of the terminal stability test :shock: and the standing while casting a fly rod test is going to be exciting as well. I hope your boat is more stable to you than mine is to me. I would love to hear the stats on the boat when you get finished...
