Okay, now that it's been almost four months, I figure it's time for an update.
Between work and other "required" activities, the boats have had very little done on them. The Pak now has both...

Time for an update:
Went camping last weekend and thought "I'll take the boat with me so I can work on it a bit". Needless to say, it took some major damage on the trip so I've spent two of the...
