A wooden kayak needs a wooden paddle

Well I guess I am finished with my kayak. I’m disappointed in how it turned out. I must have used too heavy a weight of fiberglass or it was a bad product. No matter how I tried I couldn’t get the weave to disappear like it should. Some areas are really pretty bad. I might even end up painting it. Oh well if anyone is interested in buying it I will sell it for $1,000. I have $850 in materials in it. Or if you would be interested interested in one with a lighter weight glass I would build another for $2,500

Well unless the owners decide to have me do more work I guess I am finished, FINALLY!! Somewhere in the neighborhood of 750-775 hours,all in my spare time. The bottom still needs done but I don’t think I’ll be doing that. Now on to my honey-do list 😏

Installed windshield wipers and added aluminum trim under inserts to help prevent leaks. Had to replace the shore power/ generator switch as old one just fell apart. Also added 2 circuit breakers. Just a couple things left to do then clean her up!

Got back from our trip to Texas and my Alaskan cruise so it’s back to work on the 31 cabin. Finished and installed the swim platform and made a new mahogany stern rail@
