: . . . . I'm thinking
: that a strip boat would round out the building experience.

Hi Sean,
I'd go for stripping the deck at least. Use ply for the hull, paint it (black, of course :¬) )and use carbon fibre on the inside (see Dan's latest) maybe but enjoy the look of real wood by stripping the deck. A few knots in the pine would add to the character. The joy of paddling a wood strip kayak.
Good luck . . . . Ben
