: Has anyone really had a butt joint fail? I've been paddling a long
: time and I've never seen it.

There are few plywood kayaks built with butt joints and they tend to fall apart sitting in storage after they've been wet, so the odds of seeing one fail unless you are one who repairs them is remote.
