Believe me, Mockturtle, I've drooled all over Pygmy's website. Probably the best kits out there but pricey. I've got the tools to slice wood and skin on frame will get me a really light boat, at under $300 in the end, compared to $700 for a kit.
I guess it's my time that make Pygmy's smart, but buying up the parts is part of the fun, for me.
