: Hey Guys & Gals,

: I'm thinkin' about trying an SOF for my next yak(well, maybe for my daughter)
: and I was wondering if some of you who have read more than one of the
: available SOF books prefer one over the others, and if so, which one.

: Also, my daughter needs a yak that isn't too terribly heavy. Approximately,
: how does the weight of an SOF compare with the weight, of say, a stripper
: of the same design. Realizing that there are so many factors involved,
: maybe I should put it this way: abt how much would the average
: (17'x19")SOF weigh? or better yet: whats the size of your SOF and abt
: how much does it weigh? And, what did it cost to build it?

: I'm just trying to get a "ball park" idea so I can decide whether
: to persue the SOF or just do a light layup on another stripper.

: Any responce will be much appreciated. TIA.

Ya know Charles, I don't think I've seen anyone that builds them quicker than Bob Kelim. You might check in with him and see which style he most closely immulates( is that right?? ).
