: I just bought a Happy Bottom, to put in the Redfish Silver I am finishing. It
: is a little wide for the hull so it will have be to scrunched down a
: little to fit. I am comtemplating trimming the bottom, since it is also
: thicker than I would like, I want my butt as close to the bottom as
: possible. Has anyone cut into one of these? It the foam closed cell? I
: don't want to turn it into a sponge.

You shouldn't have to sand the bottom to account for the roundness. It'll just sit in there and be comfy. The wing could be sanded if you need the width for your hips. I did this in my one kayak because it was so narrow.
