UJ's SKIFF rowability?

I had the pleasure of rowing a skiff around on Lake Union, WA. last week. This experience has lead me to consider building one as primarily as a rowing skiff and as a sculler.

I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on the Bayou Skiff rowability or say the Whisp by Redmond?

Since I sold my two Hobies and upgraded or downgraded(according to how you look at it) to a Gheenoe 13, I need a lighter weight, easier to row with two people than a gheenoe when the trolling motor's battery dies.( you can guess exactly what happened to cause my new quest).

Thanks Chuck for the link.

I think I have slowly been leaning towards a skiff for some time now. I will order some plans today or tomorrow.

The guys up at the the Wooden Boat center on Lake Union, Seattle, Washington were impressed with pirogues. I guess they really don't make anything like them except canoes but then again they don't have really shallow flat water.
