Little Auk SOT

Nick's future designs section shows a sit-on-top concept of his new Razor Billed Auk. This got me thinking about an idea I have had in the back of my head for a while. Would it be possible to make a sit-on-top version of the Little Auk? Without raising the debate about sit-on-tops that recently occured on the Kayak Building Forum - would this make a reasonable boat.

The Little Auk is about the same size (length and beam) as many small sit-on-tops. Also, some manufacturers seem to have introduced SOT's that are simply existing designs with a different deck added.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Ralph
