I added foam around the station where a fabric bulkhead will go. It should help seal it.

Looks familiar. ;)

I finished a SOF a few weeks ago for a friend. It has sealed bulkheads and hatches. Similarly I glued strips of mini cell foam to the plywood frames and then sealed it to the skin. Water tight so far...

In this shot I've attached the skin (aircraft Dacron/fiberglass) and sealed the skin to the foam with GOOP Marine.

Here's the finished kayak.

It's my own design based called the Drake. It's based on the historic Illorsuit skin on frame and the Dagger Magellan. 17' LOA x 22" BOA. Weighs 36 lb fully outfitted. Full pictures of the build on my Facebook page. I'll upload them to the website in the future.

I also made an 18' stitch and glue version. 18' LOA x 21" BOA. Weighs 44 lb outfitted.
