: I've decided to build a pirogue as my first boat. I've seen plans
: for them with either thwarts or frames. Is either way better?

As a guess I'd say it probably could be a little bit lighter with thwarts. Though the ones I've seen seem to not have them, from what I remember. They arn't real common this far north, more a southern creature.
