Say Mike, how did you get the offset dimensions for the walrus. I have a copy of Putz's book but the numbers are so small as to be illegible. I've built his standard 17' model scaled to 18' and I've made a second kayak based on scaling the Skene diagram on page 2. The Skene boat is the nicer of the two.
