I'm with Ben. It would be heresy to cut up your kayaks. One day (and possibly even in the near future) you would really regret it. If they are no longer fun, find a spot to store them, and start immediately on the Cunningham SOF.

It drives my wife nuts, but I have 3 boats in various stages of completion. And now the Guillemot makes 4. I work on the boat I am currently excited about. More "spirit" ends up in the boat that way.

: I wish i could walk away from them.

You can walk away from them. Just do so. You should not feel chained to your boats. You should feel tied to them by your heartstrings. Return to them when they call you. Not now while they "nag" you.

: P.S. I can't wait to start my skin on frame boat from Christopher
: Cunningham's book.
