Thanks for the kind words and advice! I'll look into a leg spreader and knee straps. Hopefully the spraydeck/skirt I have now will fit but I've read that you can get them made-to-fit from some manufacturers if it doesn't/pops.

A creeker but still some good advice

Looks awesome especially for the first go around. Have you had it on the water yet? Try to get out in it just on some flatwater to make sure your seat position is good very sensitive in playboats, but usually can adjust by adding foam to backrest or shaving off backrest some. I agree with the previo...

Ditto on Gonzo's response. Looks great compared to some of my "hack" jobs(past and present)! Peace...

The main reason why I have been moving away from bulkheads for my knees in C1's is the fact that with every change of season and subsequent change in layering I find my bulkhead to be either too tight or too loose and am thus changing things. A double strap system eliminates this.

TGG!

Thank you! I've started cutting out a bulkhead but I'm finding it a bit flimsy at the moment due to the dimensions (thinness) of my foam. Once I have the two pieces glued together it should be sturdier hopefully. I'll have to look into knee straps ...

Very nice! :D Puts the execution of my conversions to shame... Just one little thing, you seem to have only one thigh strap per leg, right? I have always found that, particularly in a play boat, such a set-up leaves too much room for my knees to slide and lift around, particularly when playing hard....

Thanks! I'll try and sort them out soon. I also need to fill the other holes along the cockpit rim to stop leakage at some point.

Looks good.

One suggestion: get shorter bolts before you impale yourself

Hi everyone. I'm new to c1 and have nearly finished converting my fluid nemesis. I've paddled k1 for about 9 years and have been playboating for 2 of those and decided that c1ing looked ...
