I've got I think 7 kayaks and canoes now. I have to stop and think about how many boats I've got, it's kinda fluid.

I've got pretty much all materials, several I've built, several I've helped others build and the classes I've taught. Some plastic boats are cool. My Royalex canoe would be now impossible to duplicate exactly in your own shop since Royalex is no more. I still love my old NDK Greenlander in glass, even though it's construction is the pits and it weighs a ton, still it's fast and fun to paddle. I occasionally threaten to duplicate it in wood but time is now the problem.
