In Response To: Strip: Where does the seat go? (Philip Freeman)

What are you building? The seat location should be indicated on the plans. Best is to not put the seat in permanently and put the boat in the water and slide the seat fore and aft until it behaves the way you want it to. The paddler is the biggest weight in the boat, the seat position is very important.
