Thanks for the shout out brother! Those floats will serve you well, I wish I had found them when I was making mine. I went with one center beam to make a little more room to paddle on the forward stroke, and finally ended up putting it behind my seat when paddling alone to keep my canoe from popping a wheelie. You should be able to stand up in yours easily when you have someone with you. That'll come in handy if you get your bobber caught up in a tree. God bless!

That is one heck of an idea! As I was watching, i was thinking what if you had to adjust them? So of you take the lag bolts out, and made the drop down sections a little longer and glued or whatever the wood dowels in. You could then make 3-4 holes an inch or so apart so you could adjust the height to the water. Use a cotter pin or a trailer pin to secure them in place. You could also so it to the horizontal sections. So you could adjust them in out if need be. I duuno.... Just ideas that came to me. Don't know if they would work or not.

I don’t think any adjustment is necessary the purpose is stability and they don’t even have to touch the water unless the canoe is tilting

Putt around, no hurry, far less cost than a boat. The tippy feeling and possibility capsizing, zero interest. Been looking at the Hawaiian traditional canoes for design ideas as well.

Working less hours now so hopefully I can make it happen this summer. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. God bless.
