It occurred to me, but thinking about how much water weighs scared me off.   I
figured a seam might part or the strongback might separate from the fiberglass
or something like that.

But come to think of it, there's not need to completely fill the hull.

After my next paddle, maybe I'll just plop the bow in the crotch of a tree, let
that couple of gallons run back to the tail,  and then inspect the rudder area
for seepage.
