Not old fence... New cedar fencing & a redwood 2X4 on the 2nd single seat'er. Bad split was because I put way to hard a bend in it & it pulled free. Cut it off & did it again & it held. The smaller thin one was some wood split away as I was sanding. got to aggressive with the sander. Just sat for an hour trimming a wedge to fit the shape & filled it. Ya can see the "Little Big Auk" 4 center forms have no paper pattern on them as they were the extensions to make it 16' ( 4.88m ). Rides nicer when it has some weight in it, like when we went camping & had the two of us & the camp gear. The #2 boat that turned out so pretty. 14 1/2' ( 4.42 m ) can only carry me & a small backpack & a fishing pole. Its so fun catching a fish in a kayak! when they run it will turn the kayak as there is so little weight & traction!
