I built a few around 25 years ago. If you are using Exterior grade ply, then just use Red Barn outdoor acrylic paint and put about 3 or 4 coats on. Some caulk in the seems will also help. Any way I paddled a pirogue I made from Tallassee to Mobile.

I built one. Used fiberglass and epoxy over Luan plywood. Used wood flour and epoxy in joints. It is bomb proof, and weighs about 60#, I'd guess.

This is the one I built with my kids. https://www.unclejohns.com/boat/Cajun Pirouge. Stained it and used a two part epoxy and fiber weave. It was fun to build, the flat bottom makes it stable and it drafts shallow. I added an extra rib, rub rails, and a keel to help it track straight. PM me with your number if you want me to send some pictures.

I have built a layout boat. Mine was fiberglass over plywood.

I have built one. We used stainless screws and gorilla glue, moistening the surfaces to make it expand. That was 15 years ago. My buddy just sent me a picture of it the other day. Still looks good, and he was putting a new motor on it.

I have the pirogue that TC built, got it in a trade for a Native tandem kayak I had.

Someone on here has and it was awesome. I can’t remember who. I remember that, it was an aluminum boat. That was JustinJ. He made a huge post on July 22,2021 with all kinds of stuff that he had built. Dude is a master craftsman. Some of the best welding and fabrication I’ve ever seen and I know some good ones.

Does a door tied on to two tractor tire tubes with bailer twine count? If so, then yes! It floated.

Mangler’s sailboat conversion to a canoe was one of my alltime favorite threads. RIP
