Prijon Yukon (expedition?

Can't remember). I also have a 3-year-old daughter. Indian economy by dutt and sundaram latest edition pdf free download.

I'd like to take her out on near-shore jaunts on Lake Erie, Chautauqua Lake, etc. But I don't have a tandem or sit-on-top kayak.

The Yukon smells a little bit like a dead cat (long story), which, after 8 or 9 years, means it smells a little like cat pee. Reducing its sale value a bit. So I want to chop it and make it a boat for my daughter and me. The plan () is to cut forward from the cockpit, expanding it to within a couple of inches of the forward bulkhead. I'd leave the bulkhead there, treat the raw cut edges of plastic with a poor-man's gunwale (e.g., split open vinyl hose, riveted to the plastic edge, to create a rounded, not-scrapey edge), and glue a foam pad, like a thick heel pad, a foot or two back from the bulkhead, for my daughter to sit on. My feet would go to the foot pegs, probably on either side of her; but she's thin and the kayak is kind of roomy, so I think this will be OK. Here are the problems I see with this: • reduced crush resistance.

This is a big deal, but if I do this, I'll probably never take this boat on moving water again. In fact, I think my brief involvement with whitewater is several years behind me, in general. Of course, you can get your boat wrapped around you in some situations near the shore of Erie, but those seem extremely unlikely (?). • weird balance. Putting my daughter in front will make this front-heavy, make us weathercock like crazy (maybe), etc. I will move the fixed seat back the few inches it will go, and maybe put some weight in the rear compartment to compensate. This thing has a (clunky but OK) rudder, so that will help ameliorate handling problems.
