I thought I would post some pictures for any of you who were following my previous thread about the kayak I was building. I took it out for the first tiime last week and again Friday evening on some local lakes. It is so easy to move through the water. I can cruise at 3 mph with almost no effort and have got it up to 5.7 mph according to my GPS. Here are the previous threads on building it.
