Arko,

you made out like a bandit!

My brother and I sold our first Chesapeake 17's (5 seasons old) this summer for $500 each.

: Chuck,
: Are you building this kayak with the intent of selling it? If so try and do
: the best job you can. I am going to assume that this is a S&G kayak.
: Concentrate on the fairness of the lines where the panels all join up.
: Especially take extra care with the finish. Maybe a few small custom
: features. One off's, not something anybody can buy. I have little doubt
: that it will float. Novice or not, you should still cover your expenses.
: You are the only one who can place a dollar value on your time.
: I built a Queen Charlotte 19 a few years back. After two years with this
: kayak I decided to sell it but not before I refinished it and added a few
: features like a keyhole cockpit ( which Pygmy did not offer at that time
: ), flush(?) hatches and 8mm bulkheads front and rear. I got $1100 and a
: expenses paid trip to DC, dinner and drinks and hotel. The kayak was three
: years old when I sold it.
