Id do it, after all to me thats the way it should work (fitting the persons dimensions i mean)

: I've been debating asking this here. I can already hear some of the responses
: . But..ok here goes: What do the experts think about modifying the
: dimmensions of a replica of a historical kayak to better suit the owner's
: size? The boat I'm thinking of, from what I've been told, is a little too
: small for my size or at least I'm right on the upper edge for size for it.
: I'd rather not be given the choice, also not real sure, after this past
: winter, that my size will remain the same forever. These things take a
: fair amount of work, would hate to spend all the time to build this thing
: and then find out I don't fit. (no I'm not giving you the boat if that
: happens ) Boat design is slightly over 17' long and for my size should be
: about 18', obviously other dimmensions have to change too. Yeah I know
: it's in Nick's book but it's at home and I'm not.

: So...good idea or not?
