Most people who buy a kayak, purchase a "bare boat", that is, a boat that is little more than a shell and an uncomfortable seat.This book gives a number of ways to modify that "bare boat" by adding bulkheads and hatches, deck-lines, bungie cords and many orther items that are normally found on the high-end boats to enable the owner to take their boat camping or touring.You don't need to be an engineer or mechanic to accomplish this, just understand the basics of househiold tools.
