I was just thinking similar thoughts. I'm about 2 weeks away from launching my Morris style boat and feeling a little frustrated. With the Return, I knew that if I matched the forms the boat would perform. With this one it feels like a big question mark - did I put the chines in the right place, etc. My masik looks high but matches the measurements I came up with... maybe it's because I lowered the rear deck. I'm just not used to all this individualism in hull shapes.
