: The kayak is 18.5 feet long, 19 inches wide, and 6 inches deep
: at the back of the cockpit.

Pretty exciting sounding specs. What kind of weight paddler is it aimed at? Can you/will you design a set of forms for a strip deck in case someone wanted to make a hybrid out of it?

And finally ........ this thing is sea tested, yeah? I live in mortal dread of sea kayaks that aren't good in heavy seas, have had no bueno experiences with boats that perl.
