The outside of a keyhole cockpit is the same as a "regular one". The big difference is the integral "ears" or "tabs" on the inside. They make the cockpit a bit more snug while still maintaining the same cockpit length for ease of access. The tabs are great placements for foam for thigh braces as well. See picture below of the keyhole cockpit I retrofitted into my Point Bennett - the Green Boat!!

I don't give my kayaks names other than by colour and number of cockpits:

The Black Boat, a.k.a. The Black Pearl
The Green Boat a.k.a. the Point Bennett
The Red Boat, a.k.a, the Baffin by BorealDesigns
The "Other Black Boat" a.k.a., The Disko Bay SOF
The Orange Boat, Strait 140XE by Pelican
The Double, a.k.a. the Glacier by EasterIsalnd Kayaks
