Hi All, I'm a frequent lurker on this board and have built 6 different Canoes/yaks/boats using various methods.
Anyway, I'd kind of like to build another kayak this winter. Since I'll be doing more nature watching and fishing in sheltered waters ( and vertually no open ocean/touring) I'd like to go with a design with a Large cockpit, 27-30" beam , 13-15' ( Tops!)) ( Something like a OT LOON 138) So far I've found some beautiful plans/kits but they are ALL touring/ocean orientated. Can Aanyone help with a sugested source?
P.S. I'll go strip or Stich N Glue . If I have too, I can crank up Ply Boats 2.1 and design one but I'd just as some go w a proven design .

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and this great site.
