: i do think that you should have put the mouth and teeth around the coaming
: tho', heh heh.

Ha, ha. Interesting ideas. I can imagine the (increased) amount of heckling my paddling buddies would rain down. Currently the deck has been filled with doodles, and some are of the worst sort. The club came over to help fill the canvas so to speak. At least they can't bug me for bad taste. I may have to "redecorate" after a few months.

: or at least have the mouth in the hull opposite location as the cockpit and
: have a graphic of you sort of laying back draping out of the mouth - then
: who'd know which way was up? heh heh

I think that would have stretched my skills, but the thought of it is sort of appealing. I considered painting the two sides different colors so that when I reversed course people would wonder where the first boat went. I used to race sailboats against a boat like that and it was confusing everytime he tacked.
