17 ft Stripper
Before almost year ago I have bought plans for 17 ft Stripper canoe. We decided to do some major modifications and build canoe with ribs. Canoe ribs are made from ash and for planking I used sapelle mahogany. Everything on this boat is made of ash and mahogany. Now I will install seats with real leather. Weight of canoe will be up to 50 kilos max. It is hard to do a lighter canoe because of the materials that are used in building proces. Canoe is solid as a rock .Please comment .

Wow. VERY NICE!
Isn't it amazing!! The person that never has the fortitude to pursue his own dreams, will be the first to try and discourage you from pursuing yours.

Biggest problem will be all the people asking questions and admiring it when you are trying to shove off!
