Pintail,

Thanks for the reply.  I will measure the gap between the hull and the seat and get back to you.  The kayak is currently in storage in Maine.  The plan is to remove the seat & backbend, and replace them with foam.  I hope that lowering the seat will add enough stability to make the kayak enjoyable to me.

Hi John,

I am a new member to NSPN and just saw your post.  I have a Nordkapp HM and it may be more boat than I can handle.

I noticed that you lowered the seat.  Does that make a big difference in the stability?  My seat is the original and is about 1.5 to 2 inches above the hull.

Thank you.

Lee
