I can't believe how naive I was about building designs when I started my 12 footer 11 months ago. I left it up to the Kayak compter program I was using to keep me out of trouble and now I know it didn't. Now, TRACKING, ROCKER, becomes very important to me. When I look at the two kayak examples that Shawn put on the board for compairson, I see a big difference in the two by looking at the rocker and where it's at and how much. I am looking at the Redfish Silver and the Shooting Star at this time for my next boat. And I am considering using only Nothern White Cedar (even if I have to go out of my state to get it) for lightness and cutting it 3/16 thick, again for lightness. I am not so concerned about a pretty boat this time as I am to how it handles and how much it weighs.
