Just launched our redesigned Short Shot. This was built for my wife but it turned cold and she doesn't do cold. So I took it for its maiden paddle and she took photos.

I tweaked the hull design a little but mainly just restyled it. More pointy ends and changed the deck shape. Color choices were my wife's. I like the way it turned out but it wouldn't b a color I would have picked. 34 lbs using the heavy 11.7 oz polyester and paint over that.

I only paddled it about an hour but I liked what I felt. I want to spend some more time in it before I make the final call on this one though.

If your interested, I kept a running blog on the build and kept close tabs on the cost and time.
