Thank you, this helps. 95% sure it's the Great Auk now.

If I buy the book "The Strip Built Sea Kayak - Three Rugged, Beautiful Boats You Can Build"

Does it include all the dimensions I need ?. What I need most is how to cut the cockpit hole and do the coaming.

Or do I need to get the great Auk plans ?. I can get the book for about $20 on Amazon but the plans are $90.. that's why I'm asking!

Cheers

: My guess is for a guillemot design over a bear mountain. Reasons
: are... He built from a book and guillemot is the only one to use
: the internal strong back in the book. Bear mountain uses the
: other kind (forget what it is called). Based on this with the
: peaked deck I would say great auk also. What is the width of the
: boat at the beam? And length overall. That could help you narrow
: further.
: The great auk is 17' with a 24" beam and the endeavor is 17'
: with a 23.5" beam. Close in the beam but a half inch is
: still a lot.
