: That kayak has one of the prettiest sheer lines ever. For someone of your
: size I'd increase the max chine width to 18" the max gunnel width to
: 22" and the dts to 8" . Length increased by 5", 3" in
: front of masik , 2" behind. Rear cockpit deckbeam 18" behind
: gunnel mid-point.

That's a little bigger than I'd intended. Thinking at this point of a 4% increase, ie: not much bigger. Trying to keep the width to length ratios the same otherwise the boat will not act much like the original. I'm hoping to use the round cockpit size of the NDK Greenlander since I already have a pair of skirts and a cockpit cover custom made that size. Think it's approximately the right size for the boat anyway.

Thanks for all the help everyone :)
