: Matt gave Al permission to build his Max from the section view in the Sea
: Kayaker review. I understand Matt was a little upset that Al also looked
: at a real Max to figure out his stems.

: I paddled Al's Max and really enjoyed it. I think the King has much prettier
: lines for about the same performance. Al built his Max in about 1 month.

: Jim, if you're interested in a woodstrip version of the Coaster, I would
: suggest you contact Matt Broze directly and hammer out some details.

Thanks, Shawn -

I'm planning to do that. Mariners, in general, are extremely rare in this part of the country. After having some Lake Erie time in the Mariner II I acquired, I think they'd be perfect for Great Lakes paddling.
