Good Experiences

I built an Arctic Tern this summer and had nothing but a good experiences with Pygmy.

Also, I have run my own business. I doubt anybody is getting rich in a hurry. Even if they are netting $300 per boat after materials and sell 2500 per year (which is probably a very high estimate) -- that's $750,000 gross. Pay employees (5-10?), equipment, rent, phone, taxes, more taxes, a few more taxes, and there ain't much left.

My conclusion -- you are getting quite a bit for your money with the kits Pygmy offers.

However, I did buy an upgreaded seat and back rest -- from CLC!

One good rant deserves another (?)
