: I use Spirit Line Baidarka bags in my F1 ... good bags. I've also
: used the newer version of the NRS bags ... those have worked
: fine too.

: Ken Blanton
When I built my F1, I took Brian's suggestion and bought Corey's bags, Can't find the bow bag so I got a set in Monterey and put both of them in the bow.
Even with Corey's bags in the boat it takes on a LOT of water and is a PITA to get it out. I am trying to figure out how to install bulkheads, but am going slow. I would suggest you get the largest bags you can cram in there.
I was going to make some from Walmart clear vinyl, but have not ordered the glue yet. It looks very simple to make, but then, looking at the computer screen is a whole lot easier than doing the deed. I' learning that as I build my CLC Arctic Hawk. lots of learning during the build.
Go big or take on water :)
