Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge - View Single Post

I'm thinking of taking my son on it in the bay - he's about 135lbs - with him and me on it, weight isn't an issue. But, where to put him without damaging the kayak and still be reasonable to sit. I was thinking of a foam pad between the front hatch and the FF hatch - or he could just sit in the back compartment where the live bait well sits - but, would it be strong enough to support his weight? Any ideas? Trading in for a tandem yak is an option, but not one I'm considering.
