Thank you, & I only added about 3/4" to the total beam, I spread the standard forms that I bought from Guillemot Kayaks to about 13 3/4" and made 4 more forms adding a little size as I got to the middle, It was a little fun as I had to take it all back apart a few times after I tried to run the first strip and could see the 4 inside forms were way to wide to keep the lines "sweet" As for the weight I haven't had much in it as my wife only weighs 113lb + my 198lb of... well its not all muscle, It handled great, no wake behind me and a lot smoother than my long disposed of canoe. With me alone it glides along even better. We will soon see how fishing goes. The "Little Big Auk" is 29" wide, & stable enough to take my 4 year old niece out with out concern.
I told Nick this might open up a new market for him... I'm sure Nick has the software to design this one with out the trial & error. ( Nick... Are ya there?)
(then maybe he will owe me a commission)
