Thanks to all for the shared wisdom. The foam pillar seems to be taking out the hog back at least somewhat. I've got the portage yoke shortened 2 inches, which certainly seems to have put the arch back in the shallow arch hull. I'll keep playing and see how it looks and paddles. It could be wishful thinking but maybe the canoe is gradually drifting back to a remembered shape. May be able to sneak off for an hour or two at the lake tomorrow and will see how the little tandem solos into the predicted gale. Terry, I'll stay coy on what it is for now. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
