In Response To: S&G: what boat to build (JohnJ)

John, you might consider Nick's S&G Night Heron (NH). I got one built this spring and have made it my preferred kayak. It's 18' long, turns on a dime, is very stable and has enough storage space for weekend camping. It is only 19 inches wide but don't let the narrow width fool you: it comes across as stable as my WD Lightning 17. You will have to trace the plans onto the plywood unless you get Nick to ship a cut kit to you. I believe he contracts someone to make the panels if you don't want to make them yourself (cheapest way to go)I highly recommend the NH.
