Look at the Shearwater boats built by Nicks brother Eric. There are a couple of nice ones there too, including the Atlantic which may suit your needs. Out here on the left coast, Redfish kayaks has some very nice designs as well.
: Take a good look at Nick's designs... the Great Auk is a good one for this
: purpose.. Although the Standard G.A. might be a bit large... he has the
: shortened ( medium ) Great Auk which is 14'. Or, as he has recommended in
: the past, you can shorten the standard by moving each of the forms
: together about 1/2" to 1", making it near 16' and keeping the
: beam wider for stability ( fishing ). Or stretch the forms on the 14'er
: and make it 15', although this will be a narrower boat. Just a thought..

: Nick can help you much more than I on this..
