11'9" Otter Solo Canoe & 16'1" Abenaki Tandem Canoe
Cedar Strip Otter:
This handcrafted Otter will easily glide like an otter through water!
Built this early spring of 2024, is a finished, brand new build, never been in the water. This cove & bead cedar strip boat embodies the desired traits of stability, strength, durability and beauty that is a fun playboat.
This is a lightweight (35 lbs.), easily portaged solo canoe that can be paddled with a traditional canoe paddle or with a kayak paddle. It is deeper than a typical solo canoe so the seat is attached to cleats that are epoxied to the inside of the hull. However, the bow and stern heights are such that you shouldn’t be pushed about by the wind.
A larger paddler will find that it has plenty of capacity. One could even take their Retriever or a small child and still feel very comfortable. We advise inclusion of a keel in it’s construction to improve tracking with lighter loads.
Looking for a solo fishing boat that will get you near that sweet spot? This is the perfect vessel!
The specifics are:
Specs - Length 11'9' - Beam 32.5" - Weight: approx.. 35 lbs. - Displacement 340 lbs.
Strips: 1/4" x 3/4" Northern White Cedar
Accents: Spanish Cedar, Deck & Mahogany Gunwales
