: Joe,
: I stretched a GE to 20 feet and she has been fantastic. Mines a single but
: I'm guessing you could make yours a two holer fairly easily.

: I did a lot of nip and tuck on my GEE plan tweaking for slightly differnt
: performance characteristics. Besides tweaking is basic to my nature. I
: added a inch at each station for a smooth transition and then 9 inches bow
: and stern. I wanted additional rise in the bow and stern.

: In your situation, I might suggest leaving the bow and stern alone and
: instead add your inches nearer the middle stations to get a longer swatch
: of boat where folks sit.

: You'd have to play around a bit to figure out what looks/feels best, but if
: you added two inches to your form placement stations in the middle then
: dropped to 1 inch additions to your form placements then down to the
: original plan of set s nearer the bow and stern you might end up with a 20
: to 22 footer that might transition form to form easily give ou the most
: additional lenght where you need it and be a slick project.

: Remember that when you add to a boat for a double you need to add more up
: front deck for the bow rider. You want a bit of deck to keep them dryer.
: And they'll need leg room. Unless your front rider is canine. (not all
: that uncommon)

: Also think about putting your big storage hatch between the two cockpits.

: Good luck, sounds like a neat bit of nip and tuck adds and pads. Should be
: fun

: !RUSS

Thanks for your advice! One follow-up question, would I be better off stretching the single, or downsizing the double by mulitiplying the form offsets by a factor (say 85% or 90%) to reduce the height and width, but leaving the length the same?
