		Adirondack guideboats were developed by Dwight Grant in the Adirondack region of upper New York state during a time when the area was a popular summer retreat for affluent residents of New York and Philadelphia.

		Adirondack guideboats were the creation of 19th-century guides in the Adirondack lake region who needed a watercraft that could hold passengers, all their camping and hunting gear, a dog and maybe the bounties of their hunting and fishing endeavors.
		Standard rowboats were not suited to this travel task and the Adirondack guideboat was born, being refined over many years by the guides themselves, which produced a watercraft of remarkable stability, maneuverability and light weight.
		Today, early guideboats are sought-after museum pieces and a whole new generation has discovered the advantages of these graceful craft.

		SARANAC LAKE — The guideboat sustained 19th-century Adirondackers, good for everything from hauling a man and his duffel to jacking deer.

		In "Building an Adirondack Guideboat," authors Michael Olivette and John Michne say their how-to guide can show the home workshop hobbyist how to make a laminated wood strip and fiberglass reproduction of a 1905 guideboat for $1,000 to $1,800 in materials and about 500 hours of work.

		My Adirondack Goodboat customers have been pleased with these trailers and I know of nothing better for relatively long and narrow boats up to 250 lbs.
		If your boat is over 200 pounds we should probably look at the next size up, rated for 400 lbs and available as a two-boat carrier; also in a wide-track version; and there's a new trailer for carrying one or two canoes upside down, or kayaks on edge.
		In a separate line, also UPS shippable, I can supply high-quality powder-painted steel trailers, which can be made for one, two, three, or four canoes upside down (or up to twice as many kayaks on their sides), and if desired, a rack of bicycles and a weatherproof box of gear as well.

	WoodCentral's Book Reviews: Building an Adirondack Guideboat by Michael J. Olivette and John D. Michne
		This nimble watercraft is a truly indigenous boat form that evolved in the lake region of upstate New York during the first half of the 19th century.
		The Adirondack guideboat was light enough to be portaged by one person, yet large enough to carry three or more adults and all their gear.
		This book, based on the only known plans for a traditional guideboat -- the Virginia, built in 1905 -- is a clear and highly-descriptive treatise on the entire construction process, from planning to finishing.
