I am interesterd in making a new kayak so I can play in the water with my grandkids-I'm thinking about the Mill Creek 16.5. I'm looking for anyone in my neigorhood who has built this one or any other kayak to be a mentor.
Thanks, hope to hear from someone

RE: "newbee"
If you're referring to the cyberhood then you've come to the right place. You’ll find lots of desktop mentors here with a wealth of experience and ideas to share. I launched a Mill Creek 16.5 last year. You can see the process by clicking here. It was a fun and straightforward project. It’s a great stable kayak to mess about in and very functional for fishing, camping or bird watching. That being said, it’s not a sloth by any means. With a little effort, my wife and I can leave our kids in our wake as they paddle their CH16’s. If you’d like to discuss further feel free to drop me a line anytime at [email protected]Chris
