Hi, I made a Sea Bea SOF kayak a few years ago with a pine frame and polyester fabric, with an oil based floor paint coating. I am in the process of repainting the boat, and getting it ready to take to the beach with me for my first salt-water kayak voyage. However when I made my boat I never got around to installing any deck lines or even Grab Loops. I have to admit that I am scared of messing up my nice clean lines with a bunch of clutter, but I have resigned myself to the fact that these are for utility, and are necessary to safely haul my boat, as well as have a better time on the water.
So my question is, with all of the tons of options for grab loops and deck lines, what do you guys recommend (keeping in mind that my boat is already assembled and painted)? Also, I only have about two weeks to do the work, so any really time consuming options may be off the table.
