: I want a double suited to smaller people (275lbs and under for 2 people) and
: thought the Guillemot Double would be too large. Does anyone have
: experience in stretching the Guillemot to 19-20 ft and altering the deck
: for a double?
I don't think you'll have quite enough volume--especially leg room plus room for gear. You're probably OK if you have 275 lbs, and primarily a daytrip boat.
You might consider stretching the Guillemot 'L'. You probably want closer to 23" or 24" width for adequate volume/displacement, plus a double is very disconcerting when your partner moves. If you're skilled paddlers, then leave the boat at 21", and add some more length.
