: Malcolm - thanks for the extensive comments! My thoughts was for a
: Yost-style build w/ plywood sections & stringers. I envision
: full-length stringers along the bottom, maybe an inch apart. The
: area to stand would be plywood.

: But... a kit truly makes sense for me.

: I'm not terribly known for making things that are true, square
: and/or level. Not much of a builder, more of a hacker.

: We'll see how this goes. I've got a kayak build to finish. ;-)

You could incorporate a plywood deck into the fabric cover, works well enough, easier to cover if you cover the ply with fabric. It does add considerable weight though.
