I saw a picture of a guy standing up in a sponson equiped kayak is this realistic? Maybe, but I have to say, the whole thing sounds kind of like a kludge. If you want a boat that allows you go get up and march around in it, you really want some other kind of boat, not a kayak. That's not to say that there isn't a lot of variance in kayak shapes and sizes, but compared with other boat designs, kayaks are designed to be relatively close-fitting and narrow. Every type of boat does some things better than others, and the way to choose your boat is based on what you want to do the most. If moving around in your boat is very important to you, a kayak is not the best boat for doing that in, and kludging a kayak to allow for that is IMO not the best solution. -- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::: Mary Malmros Some days you're the windshield, Other days you're the bug. |
