: ranging from almost 9 years and about 55" tall, my daughter who is 16

: The boat is 128.25"/206cm length overall.
: Maximum width at gunwale centerline is 24.375"/62cm.
: Bottom of masik to top of keelson is 10.375"/26.5cm

: is 7.25"/18.5cm.

: A rather large little boat, perhaps I'll name it The Pregnant Guppy! It
: looked much smaller when I started...

That is a pretty big "little boat" but given the size and growth of your kids, it should serve them well for quite a few years yet!

I think you'll find the Greeland boat perhaps a little bit easier. I think the shape of the Greenland is a little more straightfoward than the recovery. Shouldn't be a probably to do it ASAP, especially if your wife wants your boat!
