The OUTBACK 200™ "freighter" canoe features a shallow arch hull, nice tumblehome for paddling comfort and very nice lines with narrow entry at the stems. The OUTBACK 200™ is a surprising pleasure to paddle with a big load!
If you've searched for a larger size canoe that the whole family can cruise together in, or one that can really be a "workhorse", look in the direction of the OUTBACK 200™ !

Note: The plans assume you are thoroughly familiar with the actual construction process of a Cedar Strip Canoe using epoxy resin and fiberglass cloth. Although it includes our generously illustrated Building Hints packet, it does not include "step by step" instructions. For first time builders, we highly recommend BUILDING A STRIP CANOE (Revised Edition), by Gil Gilpatrick [DeLorme Publishing, ISBN 0-89933-026-6]. Check your local Public Library, bookstore or some of the online bookstores, such as Amazon.com for a copy | |||||||
