Nice Jimmy, looking real well. Ply looks to be thickish?

The plywood is only 4mm, it does look thicker in the photo.

I think that you are right Jack. I have the ends closed up now, but no new photos yet.

My "Katie Bug" canoe is 13.5 X 30. With me (210) and Katie (50) and gear (80-100) in, it has about 8"-9" of freeboard. You're going to be able to take along that kitchen sink if you want to. (I have a buddy who loves to portage; I'll rent him out to you.)

Here are two more. Bow and stern are closed up and the center seam is tacked.
