gary, you got bigger balls than anyone I know
one thing, have you considered the seating angle. one thing about those hobies I've noticed is how you're sitting a little lower and inclined a bit almost. it's a much better peddling position, but not really a paddling one. have you accounted for how you'll sit?
also, figured out a way to get rod storage in there? I forgot, haven't seen your yak in a while, isn't there a bulkhead behind the seat or did you cut that out. the yak's long enough for sure, for putting rods in the hatch if you can get them all the way back.
nice work so far. remember you talking about a project like that on the way down to the ontario meeting. guess you're making it happen.
can't wait to fish it with you. hint, hint...as in dude, we ever gonna fish again
