Skin-on-Frame: the SOF OI issue

everybody around here are saying such good things about the OI,
& since I am looking for a design to be built as a folder sof, I thought
about the OI, & I looked for some opinions.

Since the man don't have a web page (Jay Babina)I couldn't gather info about this creation of his (OI).

I already thought long ago to add few "chines" to a SOF to make it multi-chined
boat, but I think it would add (a little) to the weight, so I'd rather stay
with hard chined SOF.

I also thought about a way to lower the seat of a SOF boat, & the idea I came up
with is to switch to a S&G keel where the seat is (& build the rest of the boat SOF), so, if anybody is interested in this idea he can now have it - & let us know how it works.

thx for the information,

build less, paddle more,
