: You built the boat- one of the advantages is you can paddle it as
: long as you like before you make any changes. I'd say paddle it
: a lot- maybe an entire season- before you decide to do something
: like add a keel.

I would check out your posture. Perhaps add a shaped foam block behind your seat. Correct posture will effect your ability to control your beautiful new boat. Congratulations on the build.
