Building a kayak.

[UncleBee]

Has anyone here ever built there own kayak from a kit? If so how did the whole process go?

Im thinking of buying a kayak kit that once build can easily convert to a two seater, a trimaran sailer, and a sliding seat rower. Plus the look of cedar and mahogany is beautiful. So for around 1200 buck I should be able to have a nice set-up that you couldn't buy for more than three times that. Oh, the one I'm looking at is a Mill Creek 16.5 hybrid from Chesapeake Light Craft.

I know someone has to have some input on this subject.

So I guess nobody here is into kayaking or what? I thought there would be at least one person chime in here. K for someone with firsthand experience with building that can give me an idea of how it all went.
