Oh, I gotta add that one to the list of things to make. It didn't even occur to me about the cockpit filling with water when sitting. I have plans to store it on it's side in slings but even then it could get water in it. Guess a little neoprene and a bungee cord will take care of that item easily enough.

Thanks,

Tony

: I prefer upright so you don't tear up your deck rigging sliding it on and
: off. Also if you have a lot of rocker and put the boat on upside-down then
: the bow can hang down in your view. AAANnnndd.... usually the hull is more
: uniform than the deck, i.e. you may have a high front deck and a low rear
: deck, and the kayak would not sit well.

: HOWEVER: Make sure you put a cockpit cover on or in the first rain storm you
: will have a 500 lb missile!
