Made some revisions to the Quarterdeck. I found that I wasn't using the quarterdeck as much as I use to because I could not lay back and sail. A new backrest changed all that and now the ride is both dry and comfortable. Below is the video.

Made a removable motor mount as well.

Hey Vet! West Marine has those throwables in yellow too.

Nice design. I really like the idea of having spare Tyoe IV PDFs on board. Good move.

Very nice Vetgam!

Looks like the Quarterdeck is a viable alternative to haka and might have a couple of advantages ...backwards seating, lying across, drier pedaling and easy set up. It would be lighter as well.
Great work!
