: Jon,
: Check out Instant Boats by Harold "Dynamite" Payson. It has
: plans for a VERY basic kayak included in the book. I'd modify the deck to
: get rid of the box shaped cockpit. Don't know of anyone who has built it,
: but it looks very easy and quick to build.
: I keep thinking about trying to build one over a weekend. But I think my wife
: would shoot me now if I started another kayak before I finish her Spring
: Run. I have built 2 others since we bought plans for her kayak.
: Mike
Mike, you are absolutely right about that atrocious box. It ruins an
otherwise good boat. But that is not the reason I have not considered it.
As you said, that can be modified. I think it may too long (12+ft) and
too narrow (24in) for kids. It might be a good boat for me though.
If I don't come up with anything, I may just consider shortning it,
and widening it a bit, and maybe remove some of that rocker. I don't really
understand the purpose of all that rocker. I have never seen a kayak of this length, with that much rocker. What do you think?
Thanks for your help.
Jon
