Kudzu Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Just finished up the full sized plans for the Tadpole, kids kayak. Anyone interested in building one and giving me feedback? I need someone with some experience building fuselage frame boats and of course a child or grandchild to try it out! Drop me a message if your interested and we will talk details.

Hirilonde Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 My grandson is just over 3 months old, so a little pre-mature for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudzu Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 That worked out well. Steve is going to build it and give me feedback with any problems that may exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JReed Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Just out of curiosity what would the projected max displacement be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Good question, I don't have that in front of me but I think it had a max. of 120 lbs(?) with a more practical and advertised 100 lb limit. Somewhere in that range. It was aimed at younger kids with outriggers to probably preteen or early teen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JReed Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Interesting. My youngest is 85lbs or so I will keep an eye on how this progresses. It would be a good otion for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Whelp...just got the plans in the mail...this should be a first for me.... staying with the plans and no mods!
