come on guys, it's our playground, type up YOUR review and flesh out the kayakwiki or submit it to the product reviews section of www.paddling.net if you want a repository of info unfettered by advertising influences. Given the market of who of the readership is actually going to build a strip boat over buying a rotomolded kayak it's great they are able to print what they print. I'm still thrilled with getting a picture of me sitting in that Patuxent 17 sitting in a snow bank on the back page. Didn't improve my social life but surely helped feed the fix, drat that magazine, like high times encouraging vacations with ones hands.
So how's about it? I don't know the DM, ST, DJ, ET AL that review on SK but youse guys i'd listen to. I bought a Mariner Express on John Lulls recommendation 8 yrs ago, I'd get plans or a kit based on Shawns or Jays descriptions.
