: Hi Bob,

: Where is your volume greater in the brown boat, then--higher in the deck,
: wider beam? (I really, really, really liked the brown boat, BTW!)

Shawn,
the brown boat is 1" narrower and one foot longer than the green boat, due to a screwup when I was building it it's aprox 1" deeper as well. The major difference in volume between the two boats however is that I did not pinch the ends nearly as much as I did in the green boat. I think that the slightly fuller ends account for the difference in handling.
Thanks for the compliment on the boat, coming from someone with your skills it is especially sweet. You're welcome to use it whenever you're out.
Bob
