Plywood Kayak Kits - What's included?

A Bear Mountain Kayak Kit includes all the pre-cut wooden parts, jigs, patterns and fixtures needed to complete hull and deck including fiberglass cloth, cockpit coaming, bulkheads and hatches. To complete the kayak, add the Epoxy Package (epoxy, hardener, pumps and supplies) and, choose Outfitting Accessories (seat, foot pegs, rudder, etc.). Epoxy and accessories are the parts that some people will have a local source of or strong opinions about so we leave the choice up to the builder. While we would like to supply everything to complete the boat, we do understand the many reasons for leaving these choices open - we don't want to sell you anything you don't want or need.
