I do have one. Tracks like a train, bit tippy but becomes more solid with gear, a good tripping boat, the plans are a bit difficult to understand in spots but Rob is great with support, I greatly dislike his idea for hatch covers and did flush mounts instead saving untold hours of work, station three(I think) is in the wrong spot -- otherwise it fairs easily, it is a bit tough to roll but not undoable, very fast and very elegant. Friends on the ocean who have one say it handles 3 - 4 foot waves quite well. I would probably put a roller's recess on another one and add an inch or so of rocker and change the entry to more of a modified v. Regardless, for my purposes, this is a keeper, particularily for tripping.
good luck
