I'm interested in a close-up of the eye screw placement and installation, as well. Nice looking kayak!

: Congatulations on your successful design and build. A very cool project
: indeed. I too love that deck and the unique sweep of the chines is really
: interesting. I'll be very interested to hear your impressions of how it
: paddles.

: I was curious about one item though. The eye hooks. I didn't see where you
: utilized them and your note next to the picture made it sound like you
: could probably use more than the ones shown. Are they used to hold
: underdeck bungess and if so, how are they attached.

: The hatch idea was really interesting also. I am interested to see the end
: result on that one for sure.

: Thanks for sharing.
