I know a direct comparision is not exactly fair since the cockpit volumes are different in different kayaks, but I would like to get and idea if it was double, triple, etc of what you would expect for a kayak with bulkheads. I am pretty sure that I will get a sea-sock if I go the hatchless method. I am just not sure if I can stand using it down here in the summer. Mark J.
