Whoa...I'm terribly sorry I forgot those guys.

I listed the companies I knew of that offered kayak kits. Since I'm really a plans-builder at heart, I've pored over their websites, looking at plans information, and forgot that somewhere in the recesses of my memory I knew they would sell kits as well!

Sorry for the omission, Eric and Grant!

Not only do these guys sell plans and kits, (and completed boats) they also offer great advice here on this BBS. Those two also don't bash the competition like the "big guys" do, which is pretty noble in my eyes!
