thanks for the reply basskicker...
i will check the o-rings and the drain plugs.
i am excited to get this on the water... of course, i won't go out full camera gear at first... just want to get the hang of things.
i hear some folks think PA shouldn't need outriggers and the thing that i find addicting is all the "mods" one can do on their kayak...
i will restrain myself and keep the drill away until i get some time on the water though...
as for the water, well, i think that the bow may have dipped in the water when i was trying to rock it here and there... and practiced getting back from the stern... i am pulling up with 250lbs of me...
but so when i'm out on the water, how much water should i start worrying?
cheers!
