: Problems to be overcome

: Regarding cockpit drainage; if you add a hump in the middle to
: isolate the seat area from the footwell a'la ocean racer, you
: probably won't have much of an issue with water in the seat
: itself. In the footwell you would need to reduce the volume as
: much as possible and add scuppers or a bailer. the EpicV12 uses
: an Anderson bailer which can be closed off for slow paddling and
: sitting idle. I personally find Red7 bullet Scuppers to be
: excellent. http://www.surfskidev.info/content/view/633/156/
: The leg hump in the middle would also be required for structural
: reasons i.e to reduce chance of oil canning.

Even my poly Cobra has a bailer, sounds like a wet vac when it's open :)

Of course it fills the footwell really quick if you stop paddling, so need to close it quick before the boat stops.
