: So how long does it take to build a skin on frame kayak? What is there
: typical weight?

I've been at this about 2 months now. It could be much faster if I was on it full time. A lot of time was spent on forms and setup though. If you have those already, the build time will be faster. Mike has put some together pretty fast, I think. I'm imagining the weight to be no more than 30 lbs at this point. I'm not sure what the canvas/paint will add.
