Well, if anyone's wondering how the 'Sea-Pup' handles, you shouldn't have to wait very long. On August 13, myself and two other dads and our sons are going to start building 'Sea-Pups' for the boys. I think we can do it in five days or so, but we'll see. To help speed things up and keep costs down, I believe we'll be skinning with pre-coated PVC/polyester fabric. (Gotta get that ordered!) If I can, I'll post progress reports and pics as we go along. It'll probably be a bit of a three-ring-circus, and a lot of fun. Tom's been amazingly helpful and generous with his time and knowledge. This is a great community! Steve
