I have to agree with the previous posts on the quality, accuracy, and completeness of the kits offered by Pygmy Boat Co. I never found it necessary to ask for help while building my Coho. The accuracy of the panels and the use of building frames makes the process a no brainer but dont take my word for it, check the several very favorable reviews in Sea kayaker mag. Why is it every time an individual builder has a favorable comment about Pygmy, they get flamed by Chris? Is this BBS a forum for Mr. CLC to launch attacks against the competition or should the "BIG GUNS" stick to answering builders questions and let us builders decide who sells the best boat?
