Thanks for the good info. I agree about nailing down 4 seats or two. Believe it or not, I am more intimidated by wood than learning to weld. I have built with wood and have never been as good as I would like. I view wood working as a true art form. Welding looks like something I would ultimately be better at once learned, plus I have always had this secret itch to learn to weld. I think on he plans built route, I would get plenty of opportunity to work wood making forms and jigs. Though I could be wrong. Again all of the insights are great. I am at a point where if I could nail down 4 seats and commit to the expense, i think the easy choice for me would be a Bearhawk. However, I am really struck by the allure of something smaller that I could keep in my garage and run on auto fuel. These are tougher decisions than I imagined. Luckily I have plenty of time and this great resource to help figure it out.
