I built a Walrus the same year as Rehd. It's been a few years back but the experiance is fresh in my mind. My brother just recently built a Yost.

So my advice is... Build a yost. It is sturdier and the design is (as in construction design) modern.

: Who out there has experience building this style kayak. How much time did

: costs?
