Alright know that I have your attention it is going to be a couple of months getting started. Still need to strip the deck of my daughters new boat. Hunting season is here also and TxRiverRat and I have several trips planned over the next couple of months.
I am really enjoying my stripped Freedom but I am looking for something alittle longer to carry more stuff for camping and I also really like the large cockpit. I really like the way this boat's hull closely resembles a stripper. I think stability will be fine as it is the same width as my Freedom, but should be a little faster. As with all of my other boats, this one will primarily be used for camping,fishing ,and hunting trips year round on the Brazos River ( which is known for mild weather and calm winds ) That's for you Chuck.

Re: Gonna Build the Northwind
That mild , weak , wimpy , calm Texas weather is a good test for anything pertaining to the outdoors , boats , tents , rain suits , tarps , storm anchors , storm shelters and even tall buildings to see how far they can bend before breaking.
Yep , just another night on the Brazos River enjoying life and all the pleasures that go along with it. I would not of missed it for all of the tea in China.
Has anyone found Bears one shoe or did it get blown over to Florida or better yet .....the Bahama Islands ?
Have fun with the Northwind build , that sure looks like one great boat to have and use , especially on your and txriverrats quiet , peaceful and calm river.
