Hey Scotty,
Hilarious response about the septic filter cloth - I think you've derailed me totally on that one! I'm still smiling.
And as no one else is listening, I'd be honoured to paddle yours or Bobby's yak anytime. It's just that I see these things everywhere in the mags, and I think that other ways are more sympathetic aesthetically. On one hand it's too bad that they seem to work so well, but on the other, it's great because it gives us much more opportunity to make more striking ( to me ) kayaks.
