: I'm building a Redfish Spring Run and my 7 yr old son asks me weekly
: "when are you going to build me a kayak?". So, I've decided to
: build him one and am having some difficulty deciding which boat would be
: suitable for a 7 yr old. I'm considering a Redfish Parr and have received
: some positive feedback on it and am also considering a Pygmy Osprey 13.

: Have any of you built a boat for your kids that you think may be a good boat
: for me to consider? I would like it to be usable for a few years befor he
: outgrows it and would it to be a reasonable performing boat so he can
: paddle with me.

: Any thoughts??

This is a classic response - I'm not going to answer your question, but suggest something different:

How about one of the smaller Yost boats? A Sea Flea or a Sea Pup? It would be less money and build time, which makes sense in a boat that will be outgrown fairly quickly.
