Steve,

You can download the entire build log as a PDF file from my site. The address is below. I think the bow is a little overpinched, but the stern could have been pinched more. The boat has a 23" beam, but the bow dips pretty deep into the waves as I slice through them. A little more volume would help that. I'm only 168#, so it's really no problem for me, but if I was a little heavier...
