Greetings; This message is directed toward those folks who have built a sea kayak from one of the many kits available. I'm new to the idea of building a kayak and am looking for recommendations. Some of my concerns are: 1. Reliability and support from the manufacturer. 2. Quality of the materials and manuals 3. Ease of construction 4. Design quality, i.e. how well does the boat handle, tracking, weathercocking, etc. I'm looking for a sea kayak for day paddling and exercise, maybe some light touring. I'm 5' 10", 195 lbs with good upper body strength. I would appreciate any recommendations with this project. Dave David J.
