<div>Scott. I think its a great idea and i'm super jealous. I'd like to be able to have another crack at another K boat, and fix all the issues. Its such a shame you spend all that time building a boat and when its done, wish you'd done it different. Still its a learning curve. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was tempted to look into getting your new one myself, but there's the logistical problem of getting it over here, plus I do have one already! </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Will be interesting to see what you come up with.</div>

<div>I got some pretty awesome plans for this K-350. I am taking all I learned building the first one, and fixing all the known problems from that project. Should be fun. It is also something to keep me occupied till I get all my research done for the deep diver.</div>
