Ah, the beauty of building S&G kayaks rather than buying production glass boats. They are cheap enough you can have one for every occasion. A day boat, surf boat, weekend boat and the "Coleman gas grill for the steaks and half a truck bed of seasoned firewood" boat to include a day hatch full of dry ice and imported beer. I haven't picked that design yet but the Coho looks like it has potential.......Notice I neatly left the expense of the marriage counselor out of the cost of making your own boat.
