Nice bow squirt in pic number 2 . From there you could transition into a bow screw up or a one armed bandit . I love squirt boats . I've spent many hours in them with ACHING feet .

I was thinking the same thing. I used to whitewater kayak, and still have all the gear except a boat.
Darin, I'll sell you a nice paddle to go with the new lightweight 'boat'....

To finish the story, that's the bottom of a square that I bought with the intention of doing another conversion but ended up selling it to Hunter. I gave it to him last night, but wanted to do a float test first.
The foam is SO saturated that it would only float the back about 5" when submerged and forget it with me in it. In the last pic, I'm standing on it actually.
No matter where you pushed on the foam, it would ooze water. Other than that, it's in great shape and should be a good bottom for Hunter.

how do you remove the bottom form the top ? that must be a hell of a job, I did one hood liner and almost died
It takes me an hour or two. Jigsaw, screw drivers, hammer, air chisel, pry bar, and some muscle.
