In Response To: First Time/Ease of Building is important *LINK* (Lloyd Peterson)

: My first build (see link) was a hard chine CLC 16 footer and the second a
: Shearwater Bluefin (multi-chine). The hard chine was somewhat easier.
: CLC's book and DVD are useful to read and watch.

: Before you start your trip make sure you sit in your boat for some long hours
: so that you can get the seat right.

: Advantage of the kayak on the Mississippi . You are partially protected from
: bug bites.
A big thanks to everyone for your responses! I think I've decided, based on the input and discussions, to go with the Pygmy Coho. I'm planning to start the build in June, and will post pictures when I begin.
