This is one way to go. As most know I paddle it, sail it and fish from it. I originally took the sizes from Nick's Little Auk, 11 1/2' x 28" wide, plugged them into the free Bear Boat kayak program with the program set on rounded and I got one of the best boats I have ever had in my life. The seat isn't shown but it is a simple Walmart plastic boat seat that snaps in and out. The boat can hold a lot of gear and the two side water tight compartments can hold a suit case full of stuff and they are a big safety feature in that when the boat is 1/3 full of water it can be reentered without rolling and paddled back to shore or just pumped out.
