Dave,
Thanks for the feedback! I'm delighted to hear the cargo capacity is adequate. From what I've heard, the King sounds like the ideal all-around boat to build. My New Year's resolution is to build a boat, and I've pretty much settled on building the King.
A few final questions: Did you modify your King in any way? Or does the original plan support the cargo capacity you described? Also, any complaints?
Thanks again,
Wes
: I don't know the capacity in square feet or such, but I took my King down the
: Sacramento River from Redding to the Delta, took a couple of weeks.
: Carried all my camping gear and 2 weeks food. I am not a minamalist nor a
: fish eater, so I carried it all. I used the river water through a
: purifier, worked fine. The only modification (quit reading here Joe!) I
: made to the kayak was to enlarge the front hatch, used the rear template
: for both. Short answer, yes it will support a 2 week trip just fine.
: Happy trails, Dave
