: stern are fairly low, so both ends can get buried in short-period choppy
: waves, especially coming from behind.

Make the side panels at the ends higher.

: once you get the weight trimmed right, but she takes a bit of work to
: turn.

Obviously, these changes require you to build from plans rather than a kit.
