Ha! The perimeter line over the valves is a design feature, not a flaw. Once on a ‘Deadhead from Hell’ where we basically emptied the repair kit fixing a large floor rip in the sweep, we resorted to Macguyvering a tension/pressure “patch” over and into a busted valve on another f’ed up boat using the tension provided the perimeter line.

Nice looking boat, by the way

Cool design Mr. Pine sir. Looks Avon-ish to my eye. Maybe a little extra kick?

Perhaps a mash-up of Explorer (fat tubes and extra rocker) and Pro (bigwater handling and load capacity) with that good Avon tracking
