You should not need to be on the bottom of a 30" wide canoe.
I reduced a Bob's special from canoecraft to 10/12 scale in length and width and it works great at about a 6" seat height and 12" depth. Don't forget the footbraces.
: Little off topic but I figure some members also paddle double paddle canoes.
: Working on a design for a strip canoe. 12-13 feet, sitting on the bottom
: like in a kayak. Wondering what the he average gunwale height is?: It was suggested that 12" was the normal height in the center of the
: boat but that seems mighty high if your sitting on the bottom.
