All the earlier posters talking about Chapman made me laugh
His builds are way to big and way to wide.
The glass pirogue I have came from a guy that had a shop right in front of Murphy, next to Maryann's trailer park. It's well over 40 years old. I had to patch it may times over the years.

For it's size, not real heavy. I can pick it up with no problem from the center and flip it.
Maybe 75-85 lbs.

I talked to him a few times after K. Didn't do much after. Was it a black pirogue?

Your shop is in New Orleans off River Road? If it is, I did a lot of biz in the past with y'all.
