: One other comment, you probably also won't like. Many years ago, back when I
: was in the Navy, I built a kayak with a transom, wasn't quite the shape
: you have but similiar width. Makes it very difficult to lean turn, the
: entire side of the boat drags in the water from the cockpit aft. Though
: with the rocker in that boat it won't matter. Just for reference though if
: you decreased the rocker.

Thanks Bill, interesting thought.
