: I would have gladly sent out another set of instructions if I knew.

Yeah, I figured you would have, but I'm so close to being done, that I thought I could get by from recollection, Nicks book and this forum. Besides, I'll get another copy of your manual when I order plans for your high volume expedition boat that I just KNOW you must be working on..... aren't you? :-)

: You could have built a little dam and filled the end cavities with epoxy
: putty and or wood/epoxy. Then you bind the two halfs of the kayak
: together. You then peel up the bow and stern tips, put in some epoxy and
: bind them back up. You now have totally solid, sealed ends for drilling
: etc. Then you wet out the fiberglass tape that's positioned inside the
: hull.

I'll have to try that on my next boat, along with some other things that I've picked up on this forum. Soooo many options, soooo many boats, soooo little space to store them once they are built. What's a guy to do?
