Polyethilene which recreationals are mostly made of, doesn't stick well to anything. No way to glue or epoxy eyes, loops etc. In overnight trips again the question arises how to secure the loaded gear in a boat without bulkheads. Wide, short and slow touring polyethilene kayak (almost recreational) with hatches and rudder seems to be more usable thing in pretty wide range of conditions.
