This evening I stumbled upon Fritz Nordengren’s website (www.digitalstoryteller.com) and his delightful photo essay on building a fishing boat with his son several years ago.
The story page links to Uncle John’s General Store, which sold Fritz his Jon Boat kit and instructions. A friend of mine here in Lubbock recently built a cajun pirogue that looks exactly like the kit offered for sale at Uncle John’s. This looks like a lot of fun, and even something that could be doable for my kids and I. Someday!

Glad you enjoyed the site. I say, go for it. If we can build a boat, you and your kids can too.
Unlike a store bought boat, in 10 years, it will still be the boat YOU built. The store boat will just be an OLD boat.
Best site I see. Thanks.

Well i havent built an entire boat but i did by a 32 flyepoint with the motor and cabin on it. I then spent all 1 winter finishing the boat. Let me tell you that i was a ton of work to do in that short of time but it did save me a ton of money doing it all myself.

Very interesting. Was out searching for general boating information and stumbled upon your site. I think I’ll do a little more looking around your blog. Keep up the good work.
