Am building my first strip canoe a bootlegger while stripping bottom it hit me why not add a small keel strip. Has anyone on a bootlegger canoe or other kayak put a vertical strip on the center keel line protruding the width of a strip to create an actual keel similar to a small row boat would have? Would this create better tracking while paddeling? If so should the strip protrude from end to end and blend back in at the stems?
