Hi All,
Just starting to really get interested in building a strip kayak. I was comtemplatin a canoe but now leaning toward kayak. There are tons of designs out there so I am looking for info on good designs for my first build. I am 6'2" and about 230 lbs. I will be using the kayak near shore in Lake Michigan as well as inland lakes and rivers. Eventually I am going to do kayaks for my wife and 2 daughters as well. I look forward to hearing from ya'll.
