Great video and nice work at Hance, you made it look easy.

Everytime I think of building a boat I watch this.

Good work. Going on a trip in a month with a dory, stoked.

[@gauleygirl2000]

i believe your 2nd rapid "not sure"...is Tiger Wash rapid, which has some narley whirpools which would suck for swimmers

[@pyrusrex2882]

there is simply no other way to run the grand canyon than in a mackenzie/briggs dory. R.I.P. Martin

Hi there do you have any idea how much your boat weighs? She’s a beauty

[@OutdoorVentures]

BT, that is a very good question. I have been meaning to drag it down to the local weigh station every since I built it! My guess is between 600 to 700 lbs. She rows like a dream loaded to the gills or light.

Outdoor Ventures River Training . Thanks for the information. I’m just completing my boat. It’s a Spira Yukon. I have put a back deck and front deck storage compartments as well as a floor so it’s a hybrid drift boat. Can’t wait to get it on the water.
