If you want something quicker and cheaper to build than a stripper you may consider the Putz 18.5, I've been happy with the 17. The 18.5 has one large open cockpit. It could also be much lighter than most doubles. My 17 weighs 33 lbsand cost under $250. If you are interested check out George Putz's book "Wood and Canvas Kayak Building", it is available on amazon.com.
