: Thanks Kyle & Sam. And kyle for the brainwave of glassing the inside of

This may well be what I'll end up doing, building a TK1. I've found one older K1 for sale, but it's a thousand miles away. Going to ask around at the Chicago Shoreline Marathon coming up the end of the month though. Lots of racers there, might find a boat someone's had hanging in the garage for a decade or so

I'm so far behind on building projects now I'd much prefer buying an older boat just to play with.
