Moccasin 2

That confirms why I am building a 20' x 42" wood strip canoe. I often admire the simplicity of some of the other plywood canoes, but then the reality of 500# minimum payload comes back to bite me. My stripper is about done. It has 1,000# capacity at the 6" waterline. I think it will weigh about 90# when done with 3 caned seats. I still marvel at a project that can be done in a few weekends.

Quite true RE payload, but then you are comparing a 15'8" craft with a 20' craft - huge difference.

I also like the simplicity of a S&G small craft, but love sticking all those B&C strips together. You could speed that process along with a staple gun, but I used clamps on my last stripper to avoid those neat vertical rows of black-dot staple holes.
