How About A Canoe Kayak Rental/Builder Combined

In Response To: How much are they worth? (Jay Babina)

One idea that popped into my head today while spending the day in the sun would be to build a couple of canoes/kayaks. Ten or so, and then start some kind of a rental/tour business. I figured that would be a great way to show off the work recoup some of the cost for a year or so by renting, then sell off the boats at a reduced price. If people started showing an interest in purchasing the boats, could then make one here and there. Could also diversify the business by combining it with some kind of self help learning seminar. Anybody out there done anything like that before or was I in the sun to long?
