In Response To: What I meant was ..... (Kudzu)

: Thanks Barry, but I wasn't clear at all in what I was asking. I guess I
: assumed everyone could read my mind. :)

: What I was thinking about was full length floors on top of or at least flush
: with the frame tops so you have a flat floor in the boat. The number one
: complaint is the frame at the cockpit hitting the back of your thigh. Had
: a lady paddle mine that liked to sit with her legs flat on the floor of
: her boat so this was really uncomfortable for her. So I am looking at
: options to install floors.

: I currently do something similar to what your doing, but just lash my seat
: boards in.
Hmm. I've thought about too but haven't come up with an answer. It really would be easy to do but it gets back to raising the COG another inch or so. Would it hurt????
