    the T-V is my favorite all around boat.

    She is the best all around yak I own ,I have some faster ,more stable,
    lighter, the list goes on but this boat will do 90% in all categories.
    The only problem with the Queen is that I used some new wood on her 1/8 Merrinti ply ,It is the worst wood I have used luan would have been a bunch better.
    I think this boat will be close to my ultimate river tripping camping boat.
    I am going to stretch her to 16 ft 10 inches for a touch more speed ,stability and tracking. after building several 16 ft boats I have no more trouble handling them than the 13 fters.
    This length will give me the 7 ft cockpit and 2 five foot decks , the hatches will be close to full length like my last build, decks will be cut down and balanced for handling the wind, a place for my folding seat ,built in rod racks like the crusier and a few more little twist.
    Will be a strip stitch and glue ,western red ceder will be the main wood used.
