: Hi Scott. Thanks for the input. I did more research and came to the
: same conclusion, and showed it to my wife, and luckily she
: thought it looked good, so the die is cast. There are amazingly
: few designs that offer the same performance for someone her
: size, that are actually designed to be that size and not just a
: downsized big boat. So, thanks to Rob for all of the work. I'm
: looking forward to getting started on it, the time will move too
: slow between now and then...

Have fun with the build! That boat is a sexy beast, and I've yet to have anyone paddle it who wasn't thrilled with it--especially in rough water, where it really shines. Beware, however: in my experience, parking lot syndrome has been more extreme with the SS than with any other boat. Allow extra time at public launch sites.
