Starting on Deck *Pic*

Hi all,

I am just starting to work on the deck of my no name kayak. A really nice fellow from Sweden, who has built 15 kayaks, is trying to help me on a balance area but that is over my head and is probably too late now anyway. I know where the max. buoyancy was suppose to be before I altered three cross sections and that would move it forward a little. I am placing my cockpit area about like the Little Auk and will hope for the best. It's size is a large 2'x3'and will give me a little flexibility for placing the seat. I am plowing ahead on this but I welcome any comments.

John
