In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: The right yost (Wait)

Hey Wait,
Here is my Nikumi. I think it meets most of what you may be looking for, speed, tracking and load. The Sea Tour 17 EXP has a wider beam and may feel less tender for bird watching and other no handed activities. I helped a friend build a Sea Tour 15 EXP and he likes his kayak very much.
I did adjust the deck height on this NIKUMI by 1/2 inch larger with no problem. The one great advantage to a Yost build is the cost. With the price below 200 bucks you can easily build both and bring a friend. Good luck and have fun building.
