: excellent, terry!
: we would like continual updates on how the paint holds up.
: how long did it take you to put it together?
: seeya next spring?

I think it was too tender at first but maybe not to a more experienced paddler.
Time to build was about 30 to 40 hours over 3 to 4 months.
The paint I used was General Paint Enviro Guard, a water born acrylic. I have 4 coats on now . more coats may make the surface soother but add more weight?

I was thinking of putting some rub strips on the keel but I may just leave it as minimal as possible to see how it stands up.

Regards Terry
