That's exactly what I was interested in....I can get accustomed to the

have a substantial alligator population where I intend to use this thing, I
want to have some reasonable expectations before paddling off the marsh's

What mods did you make to the original plan? I thought about adding an inch
or two of freeboard, enough to matter but not interfere with arm motion.

As I recall, the nesting plans for the Cheap Canoe are really tight.
Your extra inch or two of freeboard might double your plywood
requirement.
