In Response To: Strip: coaming - no lip? (Bill VerSteeg)

If you can get by with a larger opening and he is going to be paddling flat water I found that a large cockpit is preferable for a fishing boat. It gives a place to lay your rod or paddle without fear of is sliding off the boat. Yo can a tackled box or what ever at your feet. I wasn't sure till I fished from it but this is the way to go if you not going with a SOT. While mine is not strip built you might get an idea from this. I have fished from my kayaks, then built a canoe and then I built this. This is my favorite fishing boat.

I did a raised coaming to keep water out and I have no intentions of a skirt on this boat so no lip. I actually find this boat a bit awkward to get in and out of because of it's width. I can't straddle it comfortably.
