JEM Watercraft

hey new to the site here. Been reading it for months now and find it quite worthy to goin so here I am (that was a compliment) . Anyway if this is a repeat question I am sorry. Are the plans available for the pirogue that hairymick built? I was thinking about a SOT for fishing the shallow inshore gulf. But I got to thinking about weight of the SOT vs. the pirogue. A lighter boat could be thrown into my dorry and motored across the bigger open water to the flats. I weight in at a slim 240 will this boat handle me and gear? Any information asked or not asked as always will be helpful.

You mean the asymetrical shaped one? Not just yet but give me a couple days and I'll post them up.

The drawings are actually ready so I could send. Just purchase one of these http://www.jemwatercraft.com/proddetail.php?prod=Smpl and make a note to send the asymetrical version.

Purchase a Sit-Backer canoe seat: http://www.jemwatercraft.com/proddetail ... =SitBacker

and I'll send those pirogue plans for free.

Heya Flippinover,

Welcome aboard mate, and thank you!

I weigh around 200 pounds and take a heap of gear and a heavy cooler (I eat a lot) fishing with me and my boat handles it well.

My boat is a very good fishing platforme, that paddles at least as well as most of the better plastic SOTS, is a drier ride and way more comfortable.

Mate, If I could only ever build one boat, Matts Assymetrical pirogue would be it.

Mick,
Not only is it practical but the one that you built is a pretty boat too!
