Picked up a NW solo last winter and did my maiden voyage downstream of you. I've put quite a few miles on it, but every time I take it out, I like it more and more. I installed the kneeling drops right away and love them.

I just got my NW Solo about a month ago (my 5th solo over 40 years). Within 15 min of purchase I had it upside down in a local lake to test inherent flotation. It confirmed my hunch that additional flotation is needed. Let the mods begin. I prefer to sit and use a footbrace for touring, with the option to kneel if things get dicey. Like you, I was not able to get my feet under in low seat position. It seems to me that the kneeling drops will likely put the seat too high for sitting. (mind you, I only tested that position on the showroom floor). So, I cut off 1" of the front and 1.5" off the back of the drops. I tested one wet exit, and I separated from the canoe easier than I thought. Give it a try. Other mods are in progress.

I switched out the sitting drops with kneeling drops. For me it's a game changer. I was used to the kneeling seat from a Mad River Independence I paddled for many years. When I need to stretch my legs out the sitting position seems no more tippy then it was originally. I've been doing a lot of fishing in it and love it. Looking forward to testing it in big waves and loaded with portage packs.
