Phillip, don't sell yourself short, the GREATEST KAYAK BUILDER in the USA (continental)* is a CPA. Possibly counting beans teaches attention to minutia! Seriously, I think your choice of the Osprey is one of the most beautiful boats because of the swooping visual line created by the canted deck adjacent to the sheer! If the Archive went back more than two months I'd attempt to hURL you to the Center Of Knowledge so you could meet the GREATEST KAYAK BUILDER in the USA (continental) Looking forward to seeing finished pix!
