John:

You first need to give us some information: -your size - helps in determining the size of boat -your feet size - will the cockpit be big enough -where you plan to use this kayak (flatwater, rivers, big lakes, ocean, antartica)

here is a good site for you to look up various kayaks people have built. You can also surg the kayak net

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/btreecs/ http://homepages.infoseek.com/~briancunningham/mykayak.html http://ross.secant.com/kayak/home.htm as nwell as the link for Guillemot Kayaks at the bottom of this page

: You guys have talked me into it. I'm going to build my kayak from scratch,
: but using plans that I purchase. Is there any particular company that
: stands out in providing plans that are the best? Thanks again for your
: help.

: John
