Robert,
It looks great and the weight is really nice. I have always wanted to build a king but I have never thought of it as a fast, fast, fast boat. You may want to take a look on blue heron there are several fast boats that have been designed in kayakfoundry

: I have finished the Tuxedo and my daughter was able to take it for
: a paddle. This spring run is a great touring boat with plenty of
: primary stability and tracks extremely well. I like this design
: as an all around day paddler. I was able to finish it out at 29
: lbs. I am thrilled with the light weight and love the ease of
: loading and carrying.
: I have posted a few pics and videos of the launch at
: heirloomkayak.com/blog

: Robert, visionary

: ps I am now very interested in building a king or some other high
: performance, fast, fast, boat. Can anybody suggest one?
