: The suggestion about adding ballast is not offered as a long term

: Once that is determined, then a decision can be made about the next

Hi All,Allen has the solution that I was looking for, I will move the seat back as far as it will go place some exercise weights on the back
deck until level floatation then decide if surgery is necessary, I wholly agree with all about not adding permanent weight it would just
defeat my main purpose of this kayak. Thank You all again Nick R.
