Skin-on-Frame: My Building error and where clothing

I copied a design I saw on line with a V-Bottom of about 15 degrees :( This made the kayak so unstable I had to attach outriggers to the sides.......
moral of the story is build with a flat bottom !!!!!!!!

On the up side, you can make great outriggers with that 4 inch diameter plastic.sewer pipe.. you put the 90 degree elbow on each end with a cap on the top.

Btw, where can I find cheap kayak clothing on line ???
