In Response To: S&G: Seeking data on Pygmy Goldeneye/Osprey (Lia)

I've built 2 Golden Eyes. One full size and one kids size. Pygmy kits are good quality and relatively easy to build. The Goldeneye is an older design and you probably be better served by a newer design. The rear deck is quite high and that makes it difficult for layback rolls. Also the boat is pretty big, it is to big for my 5"-4" wife and at 24" wide I find it a bit porky and I'm 6'-3" 200 lbs.
