Whether you actually have a problem depends on the original design and on the way you intend to use the kayak.

If it had an average amount of rocker or more rocker than some designs and you don't need to turn very rapidly and like fairly good tracking, then what you have will be an improvement. The tracking will probably be slightly better and the kayak will probably be slightly faster. However given how little rocker you have lost, you might not notice the difference.


I am building a Redfish Spring Run, and never paddled one, so until I find another one I will not know if it helped or hurt. Unless it handles poorly.
