Just ordered plans from Duckworks Duckworks Boat Builders Supply

I have a set plans for Jim Malachek's Piragua in a book, and was going to try to build it. Here's a link to the Piragua

But I like the Toto even better and so ordered the plans. It's called a canoe, but it's more like a kayak with an open cockpit. It can be built w/ or w/o decks. It has a slight V-bottom and raised bow and is supposed to be very seaworthy and handle rough chop. It also looks like it would carry more than the sea kayak I was going to build. Here's the link:

I really like the look of both boats, and both seem pretty easy to build.
