This is the best pic I could find to blow up the "crate/pan".
Probably cost him less than $20.
Hope it helps. Good luck.
Hey Gary! Yeah before anything I need to shim the back to raise the plain above the crown like you said. I'm gonna look for a really shallow sturdy box and rig it up. I was gonna try a crate but I'm worried about having stuff stowed that high above water level. The lack of a tankwell is a real pain but I'm trying to work around it and overcome. I'm getting the most out off this yaks strong points so ill tinker and enjoy it till I get something better.
