DIY Canoe Made out of PVC Pipe & Duct Tape!


Canoe Made out of PVC Pipe & Duct Tape!

One of my best friends from college is a fully-redneck dude who will use duct tape for anthing that leaks.

He also told me if you duct tape anything, it’s probably redneck.

Here’s a canoe made out of PVC pipe and duct tape that’d definitely qualify as redneck boat.

I wanted a boat that would allow me to cast into the shore instead of from the shore. Being a mechanical engineer, one thing led to another and as the years passed I decided I would build a skin-on-frame kayak. The final kayak would be wood framed and fabric skinned. I searched for additional ideas and eventually made a balsa and tissue paper model of an 18 footer. Not wanting to invest more money and time than necessary in a prototype, I began thinking of a simple and quick way to test a design.
