At once an adventure story and an instructional guidebook on how to
build a flat-bottom boat, this unique work embodies the excitement
of boating life. In a journey fit for Huck Finn, a group of friends
trek down the Missouri River on nothing more than a homemade skiff
where they encounter colorful locals, discover secluded river
islands, and are witness to sublime sunsets and harrowing storms.
Accompanying the narrative are schematics and instructions that
provide boaters and do-it-yourselfers with the details on how to
build a flat-bottom boat and motor from scratch. A book that
teaches those interested in boatbuilding and real-life explorers
how best to fulfill their dreams of sailing on a hand-built,
homemade vessel, this work shows how to enjoy the great outdoors
with a unique sense of accomplishment.
