Warren Cole design
Adirondack Guideboat
The boat was completed in 2010- 2011+-. Wanting a boat
that was fast and beautiful the hull is that of Warren Cole's 16' 2"
boat that resides in the Adirondack Museum. The decks and gunnels are of
Grant/Parsons, in my mind the most pleasing to the eye. Laminated ribs,
red cedar strip hull, cherry gunnels, quartersawn pine bottom board and
decks, elm coamings and risers, basswood oars, tiger red maple paddle,
pine yoke. All wood was chosen carefully for grain orientation and
suitability for purpose. Careful attention was taken with hardware
installation. Hardware was installed, removed, holes were injected with
varnish 2x before final installation.
This boat has traveled many miles and has retained its structural
integrity with none but cosmetic wear. Center seat backrest was added in
2016 when seats were re- caned. Price it as you suggested at $8000.
Although not traditional construction hopefully it will appeal to
someone who appreciates wooden boats with low maintenance. I am in no
hurry to sell and would prefer to keep it in the family if it does not
go for close to the asking price. If you or a prospective buyer thinks
it needs a little polish I could take it home for a couple of weeks.
Warren Cole design Adirondack Guideboat in modern
construction with laminated ribs and strip planking, full list of
accessories, traditional details, very fine. Asking $8000.
