That's comforting - the more I research it seems like there is a pretty healthy buffer calculated into the capacities for some of the kayaks.
I can across these float bags while sifting through articles:

They wouldn't stop the kayak from flipping, but it would probably help if it did flip or there was a leak. Anyone have any experience with these? Gimic? Over the top?
