Shawn,

I've been thinking of a hybrid for my next boat. I'm still getting used to my Cirrus:...

...but with the 5mm luan and rookie layup she goes about 55lbs. A real icebreaker. Stable, fast and solid, but I wouldn't say quick, nimble or call it a playboat. I'm thinking for day tripping and goofing around with the greenland boys that something built for that purpose would be fun.

The question I have relates to scaling the Cormorant with that purpose and my body size in mind. I's 6'1" and go 230lbs. A little top heavy you might say. What do think??

Best, David
