Finally, here’s a picture of the boat Troy built for himself in summer 2004. It’s a quarter scale Chinese junk. The moose hunt was apparently its first major expedition, and it performed with flying colours.

1/4 scale? So does that mean the Chinese used a 200 horsepower Merc. instead of a 50hp Evinrude? 🙂

You need 200 hp to carry around the Majestic Quadruple-Moose of Manchuria!

How do I get the plans to build one of these fine units? Looks like it would be a good thing for a hunter in Prince George.

Hi Mike, the design was done by Greg Foster a master wooden boat guy from Galiano Island. I had the pleasure of working with him on two paddle wheel restorations in the Yukon. He scaled and streched the hull lines of a turn of the century junk for me so the plans aren’t on the market or in any book. I could give you his contact info if you’d like to pursue it.

Troy – we’re looking for contact info for Greg Foster. We recently purchased one of his boats (Nanoose). Do you have an email or something for him? Could you email that to us? Thanks.
