Nicely done Eric! How long, start to finish, did that take, in months, or hours if you kept a log.

Did you like the kit? Was it complete and were the directions easy to follow? I have been wanting to build something like that for a long time but have no woodworking experience since Jr. High woodshop, 35 years ago! No tools either, other than a jig saw, skill saw and drill. I've been looking at CLC and Pygmy kit catalogs for years but never had the time to actually do it. Now that I'm out of work for a while, I might have the time.

And word of warning about those seats. My Old Towne canoe has the exact same seats. After a year or so the cane will dry out and become brittle. One of my kids stood on the seat when climbing aboard and her foot went right through it. So tell your 6 boys NOT to stand on the seats, ever! Or at least put a boat cushion on it first. And did they come with the kit? I need a new one! I guess I could call CLC and see if they can sell me one.

Oh, and since this is Catsailor's Forum, you now have to build another one just like it, and attach them with beams, and put on a windsurfer mast/sail, then you'll be good to post, no worries. Or build a couple of small Amas, I thought I saw a kit for those somewhere too.

;^) But seriously, nice job.
