James,

I went for the bivy tent because at $49 from Cabela's it was cheaper in
time and materials than starting from scratch.  It is made well enough
and is green for Mr. Diaz' clandestine type camping.  They even had a
camo model for a little more money.  Lucky for me the Nautiraid has a
large lip under the coaming so I could use the draw string hem.  This
allows me to use this with or without the spray deck and makes a good
insect seal. I propped mine up higher than just letting the hoop ends
rest on deck to give me head room to sit up and read on a bad weather
day or to comfortably perform bodily functions.

Mark
