: I think the G17 would be more "playful" than either the Coho or the
: extreme. The extreme is probably more similar to a enlarged G18 or G19 or
: the Nicks Exp. Sngle that is not in the book but available as plans.

I agree. I think the G18 is as playful as the Coho, and both are still more playful than the Extreme. The Extreme is 18'-10", so it's pretty hard to get a playful boat that long. I would imagine the ExpSingle is pretty similar in "playfulness" to the Extreme.
