Used to build them, now it's just easier to buy them from a KNOWN mold to know exactally what you are getting and how skinny of water it will go in. I own 8 and from my experience if you want a good one, buy one. http://www.pirogue.com , they are the best. Many on here have built them, from Uncle John's plans and seem to be happy with them, but I haven't ever used one I just know not all pirouge plans are created equal.

This is good advice. One thing to add, get spuds put in, makes hunting out of it a lot safer and easier.
