Still looking for a name but a buddy of mine gave me a set of goals for a new boat he wanted to see.

Light weight and easy to load and unload were big priorities. He buys/sells/trades boats all the time and that is one big thing he said many people wanted. To keep the list short it's basically a Rec. Boat of the Sunday paddler. Good stability, some storage, to be used on our river and smaller creeks. And the big one look good. Of course Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

But here is what I have come up with. His wife just had a serious accident and facing a long recovery. So that may delay it's start but we were hoping to start build a prototype in a couple of weeks.

15' OAL 23" beam SOF construction. I have run the hull through Mitchlets Godzilla. It should be an easy paddling boat.
