Lee, I've often wondered if we shouldn't figure out a way to reinforce the bottoms of 4-panel kayaks near midships. I can feel all of mine flex when I stick my big feet in them, or plant my boney butt in the seat. Maybe a few laminated beams athwartships under the seat and further forward under where your knees are. Might be a bit incovenient, but might be lighter than multiple layers of glass and stiffer.

I had it when I hit a submerged rock and I feel that bottom really flex.
