: John,

: If you look at a 1960s Folbot two man kayak you can see the same
: wood floor.
: This boat is far superior in looks though. And I bet it doesn't
: weigh 80# either.

: Did Steve C cover the wood floor with the skin on the outside? That
: would be a real good reason to put the keel inside.

: Marc

Most folders (all folders?) in that era had plywood bottoms. I know the Klepper looked very similiar to the Folbot, the Feathercraft too.
