Justed started a Merganser kayak
Just started and Merganser kayak from plans. It a design from Shearwater boats. I have the plywood hull completed and I am starting on the hybrid deck.
I attached a picture of what I will be attempting. If it works out,it will be sharp. Thats if I dont get tired of all the cutting and bending. Will post some pictures of the project. -Glenn

The pic you posted is not the boat you are making, right? That pic is a Redfish boat, not a Shearwater, if I am not mistaken.
I only know this because I drool over that Redfish boat often.

I am building a Shear water Merganser and using the pattern from the Red fish kayak web sight.
I may be building a Red fish spring run next. I have to see how this boat fits me. The Merganer that I am building know is for one of my sons.

I found building kayaks is more addicting than crack....(not that I have ever tried crack).  Anyway I am building my second strip built kayak and have plans for a third. I must stop.... Have fun. I found they are as much fund to paddle as they are to build.
