Don't try this

Looks like it could use an extra support between the post under the seat and the support under the front hatch.

Point taken. The new design is reinforced in these areas and I think I'm gonna use the kayak itself as the main frame. There was too much swaying when I slowed down and caused the pvc glue to break at the joints. I'll be fishin in no time. too bad it's not ready today
