: I'm building two pygmy kayaks. I don't like the straps that hold the hatches
: down(ruins the look of the deck). I've seen some internal bungee set ups
: for this . Anybody have some great ones????? THX, John

I like bulkhead hatches to keep a clean deck. Not as convenient for packing gear but I mostly day paddle. A loop of rope through a pulley at the bow and stern help drag gear in and out.
