[QUOTE="WaterWaif, post: 392774, member: 12444"] A while back I noticed a guy adding sponsons to his twelve footer. He was using from what I could tell the same kind that the Radisson canoe uses, but there are other types. With cargo/battery forward and a small water barrel up front if needed for a counter weight, a trial could be done of trying to board by a stern ladder from the water. Maybe even double the sponsons on one side and try boarding over it. An empty sealed thirty gallon plastic barrel secured temporarily might even do it. The right design might allow a ladder secured to gunnel and angled over the barrel. Two piece for hauling/stowing. The hull floats due to weight distribution. Transferring additional weight on part of it needs compensating some where else. [/QUOTE]
