Everybody has things they just hate and don't do. For me it's the web. I have a web site in development that will be active probably by March 17.

Outer-Island.com

As far as a SOF copy, there will never be such a thing because hard chine has it's own unique characteristics vs round chine. Build for your comfort level as far as width, length and importantly how much or little rocker you want. My skin boat was all over the place on a following sea until I put on a small keel strip.
