Homemade Plywood Canoe 'River Drifter'

This is my homemade plywood canoe that I made and named 'River Drifter'
It is a little over 13 feet long and about 2.5 feet wide. It works great and I'm really happy with it. If you have any questions just ask and I'll be glad to try and help.
Thanks for Watching.

How long did it take to make this amazing piece?

@MarioThePlush I'm not sure. A couple weekends maybe.

Nice work. Did you just use regular ACX plywood from the hardware store, or is this marine grade plywood? Thanks -- TMFA

@TheManFromAlaska Thanks. It's just regular plywood from the hardware store.

@magna59 The fibreglass is to provide support mainly, not seal the cracks.

Great job with building the canoe. I built one myself for a school project recently(personal project). One problem however was that, I do not know if you did this on purpose, but the sides of the boat generally lean outward, this provides support, and raises up the bow ans stern allowing the boat to travel through the water quicker.

I just bent the wood and screwed it to the little rectangle blocks that you see

on the floor of the boat. The thin plywood bends pretty easy.
