Will,
The only thing I would change on the sea tour 13 would be to build it with a flatter bottom in the center of the boat. I ended up with a bit too much keel in the one I built for my grandsons. So it likes to lay a bit to one side or the other at rest. The boys thing all kayaks are that way so it does not bother them. But I find it to be a bit distracting. BTW the one I built is the single chime version.
I am now building a 17 ft EXP Multi chine Sea Tour for my own use. Why?? Because one cannot build too many boats!!!
