It has it's share of flaws, but all cosmetic. I'm anxious to see how it handles compared to the stripper it came off of ! Jim |

Instead spending the time to type, I will share a link to the Build over at Canoe Tripping. net. The canoe weighed in at just under 36# I have to varnish the hull and Watco the gunnels. I'm happy with the weight of this 16' solo. Jim http://www.canoetripping.net/forums/forum/paddlecraft-construction/76669-carbon-kevlar-black-pearl Black Pearl |

I have to give Jim Moran credit. His Book Building Your Kevlar Canoe, inspired me ! Jim |

She weighs in at 36 1/2 #, with Spar Urethane on the hull, and Watco on the trim. I'm happy with that. Hope to have her in the BWCA this Fall. here's a few pics Thanks for following along ! Jim |
