Today I did a little exploratory shopping... And I picked up a book at Barns and Noble and browsed for some ideas... I'm re-thinking the Feather. Returning to the forums I saw your "Bull's Eye" post and ended up discovering the customer photo archive... I noticed several of the boats that we have been talking about are listed... but not the Feather. I also appreciated that the Bull's Eye is not a "wet" boat. I know that my wife would rather stay dry and would rather sit in a bench in a cockpit rather than on the top edge. I'm beginning to realize that at 48, I'm getting less fond of that as well as being desiring of a little back support. I've also considered the economy of the stitch and glue method and I'm more willing to consider plywood... especially since I compared the costs and looked at the quality of the oak veneers at the local lumberyard. I think there is much merit in the Bull's Eye... it's 11'... it has benches... It has water tight compartments... it can be tricked out rather pretty... it has nice lines... and one of the options is a 'Cat' rig... I'm liken' it. Thanks for the feed back, guys... it helps.
