Doug,
   
  Is that the Forager design or something before it (I hope I don't have designers mixed up)?
   
  Regardless, I'd like to see some photos. I may have seen some black and white photos of it in an issue of Sea Kayaker magazine.

  Picked up Doug Alderson's S&G kayak today for $500.00. The Valley rear oval 
and front round hatches are in as new condition; the ocean cockpit is 
recessed its full perimeter - nothing like the vast majority of home-made or 
kit kayaks out there, looking almost like a high-end factory boat. The 
recessed fitting are bombproof with stainless steel pins. I'll be on the 
water tomorrow - been one year plus a day since my heart surgery; almost 
forgot what kayaking might be like, so looking forward to paddling again. 
Other than my Nordkapp, this is probably one of the few boats around here 
I'd consider well-built enough for me to take out, compared to most of the 
oil-canning crude out there.
