: Looking to build a triple for trips and playing. Both paddlers are
: pretty good kayakers with plenty of open water experience. I
: haven't found much for triple plans and will need to convert a
: double. I originally looked at a Laughing Loon Twin Star but
: would like to use one of Nick’s boats. I’m leaning toward a
: fast double but I’m not sure how much footroom there is. The
: guy in the backseat has a size 12-13 paddling boot. Is there
: room enough for his big feet?

: Any other suggestions? The boat will be used for day and week-long
: trips. Both paddlers are experienced and want a fast boat.

Back seat on a double/triple shouldn't have any problems with foot room, if there is make the deck taller. You're not effecting the hull by changing the deck height, just don't radically change the shape on the deck, can change the balance in the wind.
