I had posted the following (?) yesterday. Paul pointed out to me that more info would be helpful. I now have my background info to go with it, thanks.

I would like to get opinions on these two kayaks and or companys. I am new to this and plan to build my first this winter. I'm looking at Chesapeake Light Craft - model: Chesapeake 17 or the Roy Folland Sea Wolf. Any opinions on the quality of these boats would be helpful. THANKS!

Will mostly paddle calm lakes for exercise, but may venture out to the larger lakes once my experience increases.
At this time my experience is limited to a tandem (with my wife or kids) which is very stable (30" wide).
I do not expect to learn to roll.

I know it will be helpful to have all this feedback from you and I had intended on getting into these issues as well. I
guess I was going the route of getting info of the quality of the kits first. To see if anyone had info which would put one company's kit above the others. Then I was going to research "Kayak Fit".

But having said all that you know a lot more about all this than I ever will, so I will gladly give all the info I can .

Thanks
