OK. Thanks. How much should I expect to pay for shipping to Colorado Springs for Okume sheet goods?

Nice job on your Flyfisher. Looks great! Did you put foam in your fore and aft bulkheads, or is that storage?

Thanks for the reply Don. I fat fingered the sixed. I meant metric sized plywood. In the plans, it calls for a metric sheet which is an inch'ish longer in both dimensions instead of true 4x8 feet. They say if you cant get the 1200x2400mm then to add little triangles to the 4 cut end pieces. I'm guessing I'll edge glue them on with thickened epoxy.

Hello all, Bones from Colorado Springs here. Just bought the plans for the Flyfisher 13 canoe here. I've built a couple pirogue style wood canoes of my own design (well, cribbed from others I've seen. Just sat on the garage floor and made some chalk marks and said that looks about right.) so I have some experience with epoxy, filets, marking out wood, etc. It's been about 10 years since the last build. I have a few questions about the Flyfisher. 1st. Where is a decent place to get 4mm Okume shipped to Colorado Springs that won't charge me my weight in gold to deliver? 2nd I've never seen metric sixed ply sheets as laid out in the plans. Anybody know who carries it? Or should I just plan on adding the little triangle piece to the cutout parts? 3rd. Would this be a good project for a first round'ish canoe build or should I chose something like the Moccasin 14 for the 1st? The Flyfisher seems a bit like the "tortured" plywood Sweet Dream canoe. 4. Any tips and or tricks up your sleeves? I'm sure I'll have other questions as I go along. I have the summer off (Teacher) so once I get the materials together, I'm ready to get after it. If anybody is interested, I'll do a build log with pictures here. Thanks in advance for any direction/help in advance. Have a great day.
