Tyler, you sound like a guy who wants a new router :) but 1 hp is more than plenty for b/c. It'll need to be mounted in a router table and a simple shopbuilt model will do. Lots of guidance online as far as fences and featherboards so I won't go into detail.
Here's one source for bits... http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/smarthtml/pages/bt_flute.html. The cedar is so soft that about any set of bits should last for several builds.

: I'm getting ready to start my first strip built kayak. I have an
: old 1 hp craftsman router with 1/4 inch collet. I'm guessing
: this will not be good for running a bunch of strips. Any advice
: on what router to buy and where to get good B&C bits? Tyler
