No way Bub! When you get to R2K3, we're going to have our micrometers out :-) We won't tolerate any fudging :-)

I'm anxious to to see these develop. I have been itching to try a traditional SOF, but right now it's just one of many boats on the "list". Are you going to keep the cross-sections similar. Some people have found the Morris boats to be a bit touchy due to the rounded bottoms. Will you flatten them at all or do the kids like a challenge :-)

Keep up the good work!
