: The Steering is all stainless Steel. The whole thing sits on one big resin
: pour. If I were to do it again I would have boxed it in to save weight.

Lots of cool ideas and execution in your kayak, Kent. Did you weld the ss to the rudder post?

And thank you very much for keeping the rudder stuff in reserve when showing your flame approach - great wow factor!

ps I hesitate to mention it, but with great and humble respect and contrition to what I'm about to say (picture me cowering on the ground) - do you think you could reconsider those gargantuan end grabs? Maybe simplistic toggle w/ some black cord and let the kayak read. Probably out of line here - aesthetics.
