this is my first post and there for dont even know if it is in the right spot.
I see myself building a strip boat in the near future and am currently doing the research of which one to build. At this point I have pretty much decided upon the Guillemot. My only question is how does this boat perform in the real world, I am used to paddeling a Valley Auqanaut and really like its turning ability, stability, and speed. I am just worried about sinking 200 hours into a boat and not liking its characteristics. So to some it up how would the Guillemot compare to the Valley Auqanaut or any other commercially available models that I could even demo before making my choice. thats for any information anyone could provide
