Nothing like a Taureau... much much much closer to the Fly.

Still symetrical... except we made a slight change to the fore and aft rocker... that's it.

Most of the changes aren't radical... just fine tuned and softened up were they were too aggressive in P1.

I don't know about that, seems like the sterm is 7/8" of an more rockered that the bow. I guess the tape could have been off, or the molder didn't build what was sent to him.

Fifty ready by July 8? That's great. I hope everyone loves the boat and it sells like hotcakes. Then someone will need to sell their Spanish Fly at a good price.

Spiderwebs and moonbeams. I hear that Mohawk's new material is going to be a composite of candy wrappers, g-flex, and the salty tears of children.

I talked this past weekend with Scott Berry of Bearpaw Resort. He mentioned that a couple of guys from Mo. had called and ordered a couple of L'Edges. I replied, "I bet they wanted the traditional gunwale version". He asked how I knew and I replied that one of the Missouri purchasers had to be you, and that you would want it to look like a "real" canoe. I bet you will be able to paddle the hades out of this boat. Hopefully, you won't have to resort to your heat lamps and two by fours again!........the Boathead........

Two weeks have passed. If it isn't ready for sale yet, can we at least get a picture?

I can't believe it, d'you all give up on this thread? Where's the fun in that? It's probably a surprise strategy by now like, next time you visit your favorite boat dealer shack its there and the guy tells you it has been for two weeks ;D

(even in trad outfit

So?
