I can work out the hull for a 24 footer. It could have a cabin and be sailed, but someone else would have to help out with the design. I just did a quick scaling of the 20 footer up to 24'x5.5', 25" deep aft and 39.75" forward. I get about 3000# at the 8" waterline. Id have to figure out the scantlings for this beast also.

24 footer! WOW!

Build a few of them and Ill run them out of Old Orchard Beach as a Tourist attraction if you want to team up.

We need to power them with somthing silent for Eco-Tours

You don't have to stop at 24' this is the largest cedar strip canoe I know of http://www.blackfishwilderness.com/canoebuild1.htm also http://www.blackfishwilderness.com/canoehistory.htm

Some of the birchbark trading canoes at http://www.canoemuseum.ca/index.php/...-gallarieshtml have carried up to 6,000 lb - the virtual tours shows are worth a try ...

Wow! 47', Most boat ramps around here wouldn't be long enough! LOL

Maybe by the time we add all that in a 24', and made it deep enough, it wouldn't be a canoe anymore...but seems to me it would be fun to use. Have to explore this.
