Thanks AJ. Do you glue the midships foam pillar to the pillars in the stern and bow?

Larry that's the slickest conversion I've seen to date! Super jealous. I'm finding the bulkhead in my conversions a pain, I'm going to have to try something like that.

BTW, I ended up stealing your ski idea for my latest mystic conversion and it worked super well!

Sweet! I didn't dream up the ski idea though.. My friend Keith, a kayaker no less, get's the credit.

Pix of my remix conversion can be found at the link below. I used snow board bindings and straps. The remix is an awesome boat.

I've had a good look at those pics, and others around the place. Mighty helpful. My conversion is slowly coming together. I will post pics when it's done.

Thanks for all the interesting information. Sbroam, I am interested in what sort of plastic/thickness you used for creating the baseplate in your remix conversion?
