One additional bit of info
Seawater weighs about 64 lbs a cubic foot
For those of us that have aged a bit - and may not have all that much upper body strength- your kayak filled with water is a formidable task to move / empty
I use two inflation bags in the bow to displace as much room / water as possible - so when i do dump - besides the fact that the yak floats higher - alot higher - there is less water ( weight ) to move around |
