> Bill,

> That looks like a familar seat design, what/who's design canoe is that?

> Dan Its a Bear Mountain Bob's Special 16 ft version, back several years ago they had the offsets and most of the building info posted on there site I happened to like the design and the price was right and a few hundred board feet of northern white cedar in the back yard so the project was underway and completed a few months later. It has very little rocker, lots of tumblehome ,36" wide beam, low ends for fishing (which Is what I use it for),not a white water boat its very sluggish to turn but very stable .its usually windy up here so you have to pick your days to use it ,ok for the smaller sheltered lakes and rivers.
