I have to agree with Ken Howell. There is nothing more beautiful than cedar-strip. I have a 16' Bell similar to Nebraska's and it is great. But my favorite is still the Adirondack Guideboat. Mine is 15 1/2' in fiberglass but I dream of building one in cedar strip. These are rowed, not paddled and they are fast, stable,light, and carry an emense load. What a pleasure to troll a streamer behind mine on an Adirondack lake. When I get more time I'll post a picture. The history of these boats and the Adirondack guides that hand built them is very interesting. The Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake has a few originals.
