the dream died. Well dream on. This Mahogany runabout was designed with the
home builder in mind. All of the construction has been simplified without
compromising quality one bit. All of our plans are large scale D and E size printings
with constructions manuals.

Our plans for this boat recommend using a quality grade marine plywood with a fiberglass layer
inside and out for impact and abrasion protection. We have put together a kit of rollers, spreaders,
fillers, fillet materials, pumps, epoxy and hardener as well as enough 6 oz glass for the entire boat.

The Adirondack guide boat - OK, not technically a canoe but what a boat
mounted on backbone and the construction is
simple Mahogany plywood over a frame. The
decking and seat finishing is limited only by your
imagination. The traditional look is that of a high
gloss finish over Mahogany, but they can be
painted stained or indigenous woods like Cyprus,
teak or cherry from your area can be used. One of
the biggest bonuses of building your own runabout
is making it your own.
The plans take you from start to finish. This boat
was also designed to take an outboard engine so
dropping a 25 to 40 horsepower turns this hull into
a stable fast day of fun.
