: So am I seeing the pricing correctly? For a 16' kayak I am looking
: at around $75 for the 12oz nylon? I thought the fabric was a bit
: less but I guess still a small price to play for a cool boat :)

The price I got from United Sail for ballistic nylon was $20 per yard...it cost me $30 in Vancouver,so I think thats a pretty good price. Your probley gonna pay about $10 per yard for canvas,being that ballistic nylon is 10 times better than canvas,that makes that price seem even better. For a 16 foot kayak you better get 6 yards of nylon so you have a bit on each end you can hold on to and stretch. So $120 plus tax and shipping. Still pretty cheap compaired to buying a factory built boat
