 Has anyone tried embedding/laminating small waterproof tanks inside the hull,
 under the deck, just front of the cockpit? I saw a one here, made of
fiberglass 
 with a tight waterproof hatch, diameter of 4 inches and lenght of maybe 15 
 inches. One could easily keep money, GSM  etc. there.  >>

Sounds a lot like the standard knee tube that a lot of Brit boats have
'glassed in, Ari, but I've never heard of a water-tight one!  Most are open at
the aft end --- where the paddler sits --- for easy access to whatever is
needed.  Possibly including GSM, whatever that is.  Sounds like an interesting
variation.
