: You would have to move the #3 frame fwd and probably put in a

: Marc
Yeah, pretty much my feeling too... But she is afraid of kayaks. Took a long time, but she tried a very wide boat at a paddle demo day and really liked it. Doubt she'll go out enuf to learn better, but after 35 years I am happy to do whatever it takes to do things together. I'fn yer not holding yer breath, I'll share the lofts with ya, if ya want..
