Hello all I am a 30yr. old man looking for a distance race kayak.  I am registersed for the Missouri 340 in July.  I am raising money for Pre-mature children through Childrens Mercy Hospital.  My daughter who is now 5 was a premature.  So I need a boat to get me through this venture.  I am willing to purchase a good used boat or to have somone to build it for me.  I am reqesting the boat to be 17'-20' in length and able to handle a 6'/ 200lb. body and some supplys.  I have kayak experince and have completed races in the past.  Looking for any good ideas.  Thanks for your time.............Maddox
