So how much of a problem is it to have a bag on the back deck?  I use a 
drybag for my sleeping pad (granted, it IS a slightly thicker than usual 
self-inflating pad) on the back deck.  Doesn't seem to bother me much in 
terms of performance.  It should affect weather cocking, right?  When fully 
loaded though, my boat is a tank that rides pretty low in the water (with 
me at 250 lbs + all gear).  Having something on the back deck could impact 
self-recovery choices.

So in everyone's opinion, should anything like a sleeping bag or sleeping 
pad be carried on that back deck?

How many people DO have something on the back deck for a 7 day trip?
