Well, Ross, I don't think one "refines" your work! I might humbly follow a modified path, build a variation, perhaps, but 99.99/100% pure is very close to being refined already! The residuum of posts could suggest replaceable "Leidy-Lids" for the front hatch cover, to test the far vision placement theory. Also, a clear panel in the fore-deck could test close placement, or be interchangeable with a "Mick" lunch holder or day hatch, or GPS mount. Maybe a replaceable bottom panel for looksee, jet-pump propulsion units(foot powered) uh-oh... I seem to be suffering from "Mick Syndrome", probably caugh it from reading his posts... Hmmm... multi-purpose test-bed fixtures... in a yak that can be used for normal paddling. I am often amazed at the work you put in on a "test panel". TNX for the inspiration! Scotty
