I slip a pc. of 5/16 ID tubing through the hull for the rope handles, just smear some thickend epoxy arround the opening..


Seat mounts...

The overall beam is 36'' and Gerald (the designer) said it would take about 400 lbs. to push this thing down to the 4'' water mark I will check what that width would be....I got the plans here

I hope I didn't over look your posting the beam width at 4", but I like this boat and would like to understand it's design compared to my boats. If I knew the water beam width or the flare angle of the first panel I could compare them. The floor width was 20", correct? I know you said it paddles well, but how does it compare to your other boats? You did a good job. The boat looks good and to have it finish out that light is a plus.
