While in Boothbay Harbor I saw two wooden kayaks that appeared to be made from plywood that was shaped to a form, what is this method? My father and I built a strip canoe 15 years ago that I still have and enjoy using but my wife and I are looking at trying Kayaking If I built a kayak I would want it to be an Expidition in order to haul gear. I am also considering building one each with my 3 children, probable the smaller one. What is the total cost of a finished one?
