Chinook Design

Hi folks,

Last year I sent you a photo of my partially completed plywood Chinook. Here is the completed picture. This is my first boat and took me 6 years of spare time to build so we named her the "FINALLY".

Powered by a 115hp Yamaha she sits up on plane nicely and performs well. She has been in the waters of Georgian Bay for a year now and been on a few overnight trips.

I was 75 when I started this project. You're never too old to start a labor of love. The only others to touch this boat in the building were 10 teenagers who turned the hull over onto the trailer so I could complete the cabin etc. Thought you might find this of interest.

Best wishes of the season and keep up the great work you do.

Chinook by Barry Woodhouse, Garden Grove, California 21 April 2010 It took me about 2 ½ years to build my boat, mostly on weekends. I've had her on the water for about one and a half years now. She handles very good.
