I just bought a pair of OC scrambler angler editions. I now understand what you guys were saying about the hull slap. It is quite annoying to me that they designed it the way they did. There is a part of their design that I feel ballzy enough to try and modify. The nose of it is bull-nosed instead of more streamline and pointy. I have a heat gun and I am very tempted to heat the front and bring it tighter together manually. Will this product re-harden like PVC does? I'm betting it does. I will be taking pics.

oCEAN KAYAKS ARE DESIGNED TO STACK AND THAT IS THEIR BIGGEST DESIGN FLAW. yOU CANT STACK KAYAKS THAT HAVE A NICE ,SHARP ,DEEP BOW. We heat up kayaks all the time to remove dents at our kayak shop, but what you want to try will not be that easy to do as kayaks always want to return to the shape they were molded in.
