Ron, I can see the point for small punched holes, but you drilled holes for the tie wraps and water will not swell the wood enough to fill them. Even the punched holes will open up after the water evaporates. To me water is an enemy of wood and should only be used to raise the grain, not swell it.

Re: Mill Creek Sea Island Sport Sit on Top These kayaks are mainly used in the marshes and inland saltwater bays, where no other boats can get too the reds. They will take rougher water (waves).
