Hello. We live near Rochester, NY but have a camp on Cranberry Lake in the Adirondacks. I have been a kayak camper & backpacker historically but now the kids and wife want to get out more with me so we're adding a Rheaume Prospector to the fleet. We're also involved in a high-adventure Scout Crew and planning a week long Long Lake/Raquette River trip this summer with plans to complete the Tupper Lake Paddling Triad during the trip.
I am very hands-on and DIY and have built canoes and kayaks in both skin-on-frame and stitch & glue methods but the shop is just too busy with other projects to tackle a kevlar/glass boat at this time so went with a purchased boat. Plus the wife is asking for a sail boat to learn on so that's probably the next build.
Cheers...
