<\/a><\/p>\nBefore I found Tangerine, I was looking at ideas for a simple and cheap boat. Problem is you can’t get much cheaper than they are now. Searching the web for inspiration I was looking at the Cajun Pirogue (often pronounced Pea-row). A very simple flat bottomed boat. This was the perfect\u00a0candidate.<\/p>\n What I came up with is not totally true to tradition. I did add some V to the hull instead of trying to keep it flat bottomed. That should make it track better and not always wanting to turn in circles. Not as\u00a0maneuverable\u00a0but much better out on a lake.<\/p>\n This is about a simple and cheap as I can make one. There is a one man version too. (I guess I didn’t learn my lesson to well.) I see this as a good boat for someone wanting to try Fuselage Frame or as a good father son project. \u00a0I think it would make a good Boy Scout or summer camp project too.<\/p>\n I am working on a couple of other designs that will be seeing soon but I will save them for another day. I need something else to write about.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s been over a month since I written anything in my blog.
