Hate to sound like the party crasher but I don't believe in anything but constructive criticism. I've been following your progress on your site ever since a buddy of mine told me about it. Your hull came out beautifuly! Very nice work there. Somehow the deck though seems to belong to another kayak entirely. It's like you had one idea for what the hull was going to look like and then had an entirely direction for the deck as if it were a change in direction as the project progressed. Sorry to say but it looks like two people are making this boat. I think as a cohesive piece of work you might think about how to tie the two sides together visually. I understand that some designs can be pulled off with the dark bottoms and lighter topsides with designs, but honestly I have to say this one isn't working.

My $.02.
