[QUOTE="mud-skipper, post: 323623, member: 11436"] It would be very sluggish through the water at 8' wide, as the bow creates quite a bit of resistance. I have to put a plate under it to make it plane better. As for tipping, it feels like when weight is applied to it, it sends to sink evenly, so I doubt anyone could tip this over. Of course, a kayak has a roundish bottom, which would make it tend to roll in the water. At 23' of pipe in the water (not the bow) then the total displacement of the pipes is 2250 lbs. Lets say that about half of the pipes are in the water, so we'll halve that figure = 1125 lbs= say 6-8 persons. It's schedule 35 pipe and with the fittings, I spent about $800 on it. [/QUOTE]
