Hi Frank

Dynooomite boat. Is that an original PUTZ? Your finish is pretty remarkable for a skin on stick boat. Very uniform and the high gloss, reflecting all the surrounding area for miles is Awesome!! Seems to be a quick boat, but, with that narrow beam, I don't doubt it is fantastically light and a straight line tracker. How does she handle in the leaned turns? But then there don't seem to be any turns where you're paddling. What paddle are you useing as it seems to be a bit slow on the right side? How would you compare this boat to say, a..... Uh.....say,a FAST DOUBLE or maybe the Night Heron? I was also wondering about time of construction and ease of reading the plans. Do you think It's something a newbie could tackle with any kind of proficiency? Any and All info on this model would be highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance...
