Lia,
I can't help with the number crunching you want, but I will whole-heartedly agree with Sod that a trip to Washington to test drive Pygmy's boats might prove rather disappointing. I did that early in my kayaking life, but only because I was actually IN Port Townsend for other reasons. As noted, I was not able to leave the highly sheltered boat harbor and was only able to paddle each boat for a couple of hundred yards at most. I will note, however, that the folks at Pygmy were most helpful and happy to assist as much as possible.
I built, and still regularly paddle, a Coho and think very highly of Pygmy boats. I'd agree that finding nearby paddlers who'd be willing to let you try their boat(s) would be much more valuable than a trip to PT, especially if any distance is involved. Where do you live?
Enjoy your process, your build, and your paddling!
Happy Holidays,
Glenn
