: I wonder if this feeling came about from my not having a seat in
: the boat yet and sitting on the floor of the kayak with my back
: pressed hard against back off the coaming? Any one know if this
: design should have me sitting a couple inches forward of the
: back of the coaming? I was going to put a redfish seat in the
: boat and am just holding out for it. (I actually have a sore
: spot on my back from the coaming).

Most boats have the ideal seat position a few inches in front of the rear of the coaming, I'm very sure Nick's boats are that way. Position of the seat should be on the plans.
