>Thought of the SeaPup, SeaBee but I wanna be able to have some decent cruising speed, stability, and be able to develop a strong skillset.

Ay 135lbs, you would fit the Sea Pup (14ft X 19in). I'm not sure what you mean by the above statement as the 14ft Sea Pup is as fast,
stable, and rolls as well as any Greenland of similar dimensions. I don't recommend you scale down any of my designs, but if you did
it right, you'd end up with a Sea Pup.

The Sea Bee is quite stable, but with good speed and quick handling for a 13 footer. I'd be less concerned about the boat looking
a certain way, and more concerned about how it paddles.

You don't need to reinvent the wheel. Just carefully follow the directions, build the boat, and go paddling. The knowlege you gain
on the first one will put you in an infinitely better position to build, modify, and even design subsequent kayaks.

And that's all I have to say about that :)... Regards, Tom
