Scott,

Congratulations mate! That is the prettiest sit on top kayak I have ever seen!! 8)

Beautiful job mate - stunning. She allways looked fast to me and to see you powering her through the water confirmed it.

Matt, Congratulations to you too mate. I really think you should list this one. There is a definate market out there for a very good SOT that is suitable for smaller people. I think this fits the bill and would prove very popular. :D
Regards,
Mick

Matt,
I agree with Mick. You did a fantastic job on this design! It is absolutely perfect! It's light, fast, stable, and tracks dead-on. My daughter handled her with ease and loves her. Smaller guys like me, women, and kids will find this a great boat.

If you go any faster then in this picture (I like that bow wake it is throwing) you will need a windshield on the front deck.

One beautiful fishing machine and fun boat. :D

He's towing his daughter on water skis here. She's out of the picture. :)

Scott - nice job. And, a tip of my hat to you for involving your daughter. The torch is being passed. Build those Father-Daughter bonds while you have the chance. Those roots will help here later when she has to develop wings, and fly away from Mom and Dad.
