  1. Very nice. I am jealous in a good way. Out of curiosity, since this was your introduction to sea kayaks, how far off shore did you go?
  2. What about Curlew makes it one of your favorites to paddle? Does Short Shot have more overall stability due to the multi-chine hull? Thanks for the help.
  3. Jeff, Thanks for your comments. I pretty much had ruled out Vardo already. I have been in a kayak twice before. They were twitchy at first as you said. Things got better after a short time. I am not worried about feeling unstable for a bit. The weight difference between the Short Shot and Ravenswood is not much to worry about. At this point it is pretty much down to looks. I believe either of these 2 boats will be great for my purposes. I live in Southwest Louisiana and hope to fish Lacassine Wildlife Management Area. Which boat will hold up best to an alligator attach. Just kidding. Thanks for the input. I feel confident I am heading in the right direction.
  4. Hi All, I have been reading a lot about kayaks over the last several months. I started to buy one but it was $900. That is a bit much. I stumbled upon sof kayaks and like many was skeptical. After a couple of weeks reading I have decided to build one. I have also settled on the Kudzu line because I see a fair amount of activity around them. I have narrowed my possible choices to Ravenswood, Short Shot and Vardo. That is too many so I decided to get your opinions. I know I have to make the decision but a little insight can't hurt. I am 6'1" about 195 pounds. I will use the boat predominately on flat inland lakes, rivers and marshes. I want to do light fishing from it. One pole small tackle box. Occasional overnight camping trip. I may build a second boat for my teenage son. He can haul all the camping gear.
