W Fishing Kayak by John Forney (2)
John Forney has a new web page where he presents his work in designing and building kayaks and small boats. After this beautiful wooden W fishing kayak John’s next project is a skin-on-aluminum-frame W boat.

Beautiful work. I like the bulkheads in the bow and stern. Can they be used for storage?

Looks good! I’d put rod holders in those bulkheads.

I like it too. It would be interesting to see more pictures from other angles.

From what I can see the saddle looks different from the W kayak’s. I guess it’s harder to work in wood than it is in plastic.

this boat might be a perfect all-around fishing platform

I’d like to paddle this kayak. It’s nice to see new W boats on the water.

This boat looks like a new combination of the best that kayaks, canoes and catamarans have to offer.
