: Has anyone built a wood bottom skin side and deck hybrid?
: is it possible?
: is there such an animal?
: thanks,

Could be done. In Port Townsend there are sculling shells that have wood bottom and sides and nylon or Mylar tops. Looks to me that the reasoning is weight savings.
Definitely would be an odd lucking duck on a sea kayak.
