um, are you sure it's not a kayak? i bet you could put a skirt on it if you had one made......

Haha... well now, it would be more of a 'dress' than a 'skirt' now wouldn't it.

i dunno man... that opening looks smaller than an extra large keyhole

Getting tag teamed by C1ers! Where's Louie when I need em? hahaahha

Here I thought those rivets where for lashing. Thanks for the info.

You have a pump in it too so that has to be one playful boat. As for the skirt / dress don't worry about it... folks are just jealous... I know I am.

Looking forward to feedback (video) on the set up in action! Just say'n!

I made some for the SF from foam, but Kydex would be much better. Will you be at ALF this year?

Nice. Conjuring something similar for the SF, but out of PE which won't be as pretty (not color matched).

I made one for the bow and stern, but only used it in the bow in winter

Wendy - Arched or flat?

Man, those Blackfly Caps are cool. Should become standard equipment sold with the boat. Nice innovation there.

and I thought mine were cool...just did 1/8" lexan. But those are awesome! Great job!

I'm not sure it made a big difference on mine though
I don't seem to get much water past the fully inflated bags and I still seem to get plenty in the hole at the top

You could buy a Ledge, cut the decks off, and put them on the Blackfly If I was going to go that far, I'd rather just make a Blackfly C-1.

The decks could be a good training tool though.

Thanks for the kind words. I think they turned out pretty good and I do notice a big difference. @ Wendy ref ALF- I'm planning on it! Someone asked if they were curved I think, yes they curve to match the shape of the boats cockpit and then snap onto the thwart.

Sbroam- what color are you looking for? Here is where I get my stuff, they have a few colors to choose from.

Kydex in a bunch of colors- (I like .08 thickness)
