: 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...

Do you realize that you could have reskinned that boat about 30 times with all the beaver pelts you pass up in an hour. Oh, and that double jointed elbow is probably the reason for the hitch in the right side paddle stroke. You should get that looked after.
