Started a new kayak here a while back. It will be 15' X 29". Western Red Cedar, balsa and fiberglass. Some patches of Kevlar for toughness. Got some more glass on it. Just a couple of patches left to glass the basic hull. Still lots of work after that.  Build log on TKF http://www.texaskayakfisherman.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=242257&p=2234500#p2234500

That is going to be a beautiful boat!

Looking really nice!
Can you give us an approximation of how much it will weigh?

Very nice. Need to dig my book out and actually build a kayak. Been wanting to for years.

Brad I have only a small amount of glass left to apply and the current weight is 25 lbs. So I am optimistic to keep the finished hull weight under 40 lbs.
