i built the shearwater 17 with a skeg and a creature comfort seat and im convinced its  the perfect kayak im not in your area but thats my 2cents worth

Thanks Greg,

Did you add the skeg after testing or based on prior knowledge.

I'm a novice, 5'10 / 165lb / size 11 shoe: would it work for me?

I am about 90% done with the construction phase of my C17, and while I realize that it is not the specific boat that you were interested in seeing, feel free to shoot me an e-mail if you want to come have a look.  I am located in New Hudson (area code 48165), specifically at the New Hudson airport (I am building inside a hangar). 

Let me know if you are interested in seeing the boat.
