Ok,, I am gonna do it !!!!!
I have been fantasizing for awhile, ever since I paddled Bowgarguides wooden boat last year. I was about to pull the trigger on another plactic boat last week, and then,,,, and then,,,, Dogpaddlin shows up last weekend, with his..wooden pirogue.
wow, it was love at first sight, and he hadn't even unloaded it yet.
Then he asked if I wanted to paddle it,,,,, I guess he saw me drooling all morning,,,,,, finally,,,, finally,,,, I got to paddle it......the thoughts of getting the plastic kayak, quickly faded, sorry, Birdsnest,,,,,I like that Necky, but this one was just to sexy.......
I have been beating the ads up looking for one already built,,,, no luck,,,,,,,,and I am impatient on things,,,,, Dogpaddlin sent me the info on Uncle Johns "kit", and I that is the way I am gonna go.

Better build you some more storage for yaks ,Mike is right can,t build just one.
The UJ is a good boat for the first build.

Re: Ok,, I am gonna do it !!!!!
Way to go Randy. It will mean alot to you turning a pile of material into a boat. I will bet the plastic boats get a break once you start building/paddling your own boats.

Re: Ok,, I am gonna do it !!!!!
I have been wanting one for a while, and after paddling "Dogpaddlin's this past weekend,,,, that sold me on the job.
Ya mean I gotta git rid of the plastic stuff,,,,,can I atleast keep the lime green mini, the camo K140, the OT Pack canoe, and the Hertitage 9.5,,,,I would be willing to let the RED swifty go,,, I don't like RED anyway.......Oh
OH,,, can I also keep the OT Guide 147,,, just for keepsakes...? ( in case I have a relapse)

Re: Ok,, I am gonna do it !!!!!
Man...that's what I like to see...a little enthusiasm! My wife always thought it was funny when I'd bring in my latest toy and lay it next to the bed while I slept. Kept a Johnson 15 hp outboard next to the bed for a couple of weeks....
...once it's used it gets stinky....
...I guess that holds true with a lot of things.....

Re: Ok,, I am gonna do it !!!!!
Ok, Ok,, I have pulled off some things in the past,,, but as I was sitting in my office today (working) I was looking at this little box about 25 inches long and 2 1'/2 inches thick, and as I opened it,,, I scratched ma head,,, "" an I am gonna make a boat outta this"
And then the Admin walked by and said "How sweet, are you going to make a toy boat for Tristan?",When I said "NOPE", I am gonna build a big one for me,,,,,,, and she looked as puzzled as I did.....

It won't take long, by the second day you work on it it will have already taken shape. At that point you will become obsessed with finishing it and won't be able to concentrate on any thing else!
