The guy worked for a casket company... Good heavens, it gives me heartburn to think about anyone making coffins out of magnificent lumber like that just so corpses may putrify in... oh, never mind. Dammit. Pass the "Maalox," please.

Trey, I sure hope you're listening to these guys. Kent's particularly after my own heart when he says you'd just end up with a HEAVY boat. My last 17' x 19" kayak weighs 28 lbs. You just haven't lived till you get a nice, light one. Talk about a joy to handle! Use cedar, please. :D

Cheers,
Kurt Maurer
