I never claimed to have 30 years of experience. I would have had to have started when I was 5 and not 35 which I was when I started building this year. I reread your post to me, and all it said was "Great way to kill your brother." I found it offensive and not helpful at all. Others were quite helpful. They responded by giving specific opinions on what they thought might be wrong, and suggestions on how I could improve on the kayak. I think you have confused me with Hank. You said to Nick "One day you might learn to read." I think that it would be good for you to follow what little advice you do give. I had chosen not to respond to what you said before, but after your response to Nick I saw that you were confused and not catching the details, so I thought I would be kind enough to point them out to you.
