Hi all,

I think the best option is to buy a used kayak (rotormolded) and sell it next spring. You probably don't loose too much money - I guess less than a couple hundred bucks and you can paddle as much as you want. Best of all, it should take much time to find one and you can continue working on your real boat.

: Hi All

: I have come to the conclusion that I am not going to get my Great Auk in the
: water before the fall and I want to take my time with it, so, I'm looking
: for something I can get done soon and start playing and getting in some
: paddle time. Here's my thoughts: I want something in either a Stitch &
: Glue or Skin on Frame. I'm 6'3" @ 240 and size 13's. What I'm
: thinking is: No Hatches, No Designs, No Bells and Whistles, 2'-3' end
: pours with two-part Poly expandable foam for both floatation and use up
: space, or Bulkhead-sealed ends for floataion. Nothing but a basic play
: boat. I'm wanting to build it while I'm working on the G.A. and get into
: the water by the end of summer. Just want to get in some paddle time
: before it's too cold. I'm leaning towards a S&G for this particular boat.
: Don't care how long, as long as it will carry me and I can carry it. Any
: ideas will be appreciated, and considered. Thanks :)
