: Shawn -- speaking mutant to mutant, what models of stripper do you paddle?
: Have you had to modify the designs? Are there any designs that a mutant
: should definitely avoid?

: I plan to start construction over the summer (my first), and have wondered
: about some models. My kayaking skill is on par with my kayak-building
: skill, so far.

Ken, there was a great picture of Shawn a few eons ago. He was standing on the WALL of his shop, belt sanding his boat. Probably helped the fairing process. We readers on the Electronic Front Porch learn alot of special building tricks from the masters, but that's one trick I haven't been able to duplicate. (I bet George can do it) Possibly standing on the WALL allows one to control the belt sander better? TNX, Scotty (Is that picture still in the archives, Shawn?) ?
