You are definately happy with the sonnets.
I was taking a serious look at the Sea Otter R. Being only 20 inches vs 19.5 inches wide, how do they differ (otter vs rider). I was going to add 1 inch to the distances between the sections on the otter and use longer stems making it a 16.5-17 ft boat and make the rear deck level with the gunwalls. Concidering the width and length would be seriosly close to each other, how else do they differ? I guess I could plot them out side by side and take a look myself.

PS, thanks for the advise on the wee lassie, but when the wife realized I was actually going to build it, she said no.
