Neil and Lisa - 16' Prospector

Hi Ted and Joan, My husband and I built the 16' Prospector?together. It was a perfect way for us to remember that we can work together to accomplish a goal. It took us four months working just about every week night and Saturdays and we had a deadline to make sure we would get it finished. The fruits of our labor were enjoyed this past week in the Adirondaks where we took our four kids to a camp on Lake Pleasant. We named our canoe "True North" because the project helped point us in the right direction for many more years of happy marriage. Thanks for your help in the project. We are hooked on canoe building now and may make more - maybe one for each of our children. Sincerely, Neil and Lisa
