Ron, For bow flotation in kayaks with no forward bulkhead such as yours, you might want to look into the inflatable storage-flotation bags made by Voyager. Called "Tour-Stow" bags, they come in 4 sizes and have a large, sealable opening to fit stuff into. Then once they're sealed, there's a long tube you blow them up with to get max flotation. They are shaped to conform to the hull/deck of the yak and are *really* waterproof, not like the roll-down dry-bags which will leak when submerged. They're a little spendy, but worth it I think. Voyager's number is 1-800-843-8985.
