Duane,

I haven't decided if my technique is bad, or I'm used to "no" rocker Brit 
boats, but your description is timely. I've been thinking about doing the 
same thing. I don't have the initial problems you did, but I'm glad to see 
this is a viable option. Any other less permanent options you considered 
along the way?

 At the stern, I modified the hull by building up a rail of epoxy and 
fiberglass along the 
keel line for a length of about 3 1/2 feet. This rail tapered up to a max 
height of 1 inch towards the stern. After tuning the hull, the sea kayak 
is handling great.
