Kenny, You should really go back a ways and see what Strosacker did to the Arctic Hawk. I did the same thing more or less at the same time and I don't think you need to burden yourself with a retractable skeg. A simple 3 foot tapering fixed skeg (hull extension) is a. easier to fabricate and b. all you need. I tried to get the address using roll or die but the closest I could get was a Black Plague Game. Ahhh... Mr. Strosacker? As far as a foot pump is concerned, do you intend to replace that "foam, rubber, or whatever" bulkhead Wilderness uses with ????, plywood, or just a frame to fit the pump? I was thinking along the same lines but decided to go with an electric pump instead. Gives me a bit more time to "study" the subject before I have to get down to work. Can't rush into these things you know.
