: Dale,
: This may not apply but often when a boat doesn't do as it seems it ought, its
: in the cockpit problems. We built a boat that didn't do anything we wanted
: it to. Like yours it was roomy cockpit. When we added padding to the hips
: and a saddle horn it was different boat. I'd start with padding see if it
: makes a difference.

I agree, my boat is looser since I haven't finished padding it. I did feel like I had more control in Cid's. Must have been his foot pegs and the Joe Greenley seat.
