By corresponding with Starr by phone or email (or in person), you can discuss what kind of boat is right for you. He will then build the canoe based on the designs that you both agreed on, and you will have the perfect, one of a kind canoe, built to suit your personal needs. It will be built solidly to last, to be passed down as an heirloom for generations to come.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not want to be so intimately involved in the design process, Starr can use his own designs or those based on Rushton&#8217;s historic models to create a unique canoe for you. Starr can build canoes by your own design. He cannot, however, build exact replicas of other published designs. Starr can also build paddles to suit particular measurements or requirements.<\/p>\n<p>We also have a selection of canoes that have already been built and tested that we would be happy to sell. Contact us for more information.<\/p>\n<h3>The Quetico Tripper II<\/h3>\n<p>Developed after umpteen trips to Quetico and other places to survive wind, waves, and weather typical of Ontario, the Quetico Tripper II can carry about 650 pounds, or two adults and all their stuff for ten days in the wilderness. $4500 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caddowatershed.com\/?page_id=397\" title=\"Quetico Tripper II\">Details<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>NEW! Wee Lassie <\/h3>\n<p>Based on John Henry Rushton&#8217;s designs, this is a one-person canoe that weighs a mere 35 pounds.<br \/>\n$3000, including a double-ended Greenland paddle. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caddowatershed.com\/?page_id=405\">Details<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h3>Arkansas Traveler<\/h3>\n<p>A 17-foot racing canoe. $4500<\/p>\n<h3>Shipping <\/h3>\n<p>Delivery approximately 3 to 6 months after ordering.<br \/>\n$500 deposit required for materials. Balance upon delivery. No credit cards &#8211; Sorry! Cash or check only please.<\/p>\n<p>The finished canoe may be delivered at nominal mileage cost within a 500 mile radius of Ft. Worth\/Dallas. Otherwise, to be shipped via train or truck, whatever is cheapest, or preferably picked up. The best way of shipping the finished canoe to your area would have to be researched, and a quote given. It could entail crate-building charges plus the actual shipping cost though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like J.
