: I just finished my Pygmy Osprey Triple. It is pretty plain, but still a nice
: looking boat. I built it just like the plans except for the seats. Joe
: Greenley built me a seat for my Panache which fits pretty well in the rear
: position. Then I built similiar seats for my 4 year old and my wife for
: the middle and fore cockpits. I also installed a Seal Line rudder. It
: hasn't been varnished yet but I plan on using System Three's LPU on it. I
: am determined to learn how to spray the LPU with my HVLP sprayer. If the
: weather clears, maybe the boat will get wet this weekend...

From the pictures it appears that your build is nicely done. You will enjoy the boat. I built the Osprey double, which you no doubt know is the same hull, several years ago with the bulkheads and hatches supplied by Pygmy. We have been out kayak/camping in it numerous times. It has served us well and we really enjoy the boat.
