Hi everyone!
I'm new to the forum and new to building boats! For now, I'm thinking of building the Short-Shot. I'm not an experience kayaker, I just like building and the idea of some fun physical activity. Ill probably use it very little on the Oregon coast and mostly in the deeper parts of the willamette river and maybe some mountain lakes.
I'm looking to see if there are any Kudzu Craft builders in the Oregon area that can pass on supplies. Particularly, I'm looking to see if someone has built a strong back that may be just lying around after their project. I foresee building one boat and I also foresee the strong back sitting in my garage, taking up space after that. If anyone else is in the same boat, haha, let me know.
I would also be interested in leftover wood. If anyone has scraps of marine plywood in the Oregon or Washington area, I can come pick them up.
And lastly, It would be nice to have someone locally who has done this project in the past, that I can bounce ideas off of. Ill use this forum but its nice to meet people too.
Thanks for reading my post. Keep it upright!
Ryan
