Nick, Do you detail the paint/dye job on that kayak anywhere? We're going to build one of Eric's Mergansers for my wife and I think she'd like the stained look?
Thanks.
Mike

: I have been paddling the boat all summer and still like it. I have done 50
: mile day trips in it, played in hurricane surf and tidal falls and a lot
: of conditions in between. It is has performed well. I don't feel it needs
: a skeg, although I expect some people would like one in certain
: conditions.

: I would not recommend the boat for month-long trips as-is. As it is now the
: volume is not great for a lot of gear. I would also want to raise the
: sheer towards the ends if the boat was carrying a lot of weight to help
: get over waves.
