Hi all, I'm back. I still haven't built my Gulimont Expidition. Forms are cut, strongback built, and then my status suddenly changed from a single irresponsible guy to practically married (still irresponsible though). I'd still like to build, but not until the dust has settled a little bit.

Anyway, as you may recall, I was also going to build a stripped hull for an ice boat. Not wanting to spend over $100 on CAD software I ended up using KayakFoundry software to design the hull. Attached is a pic. I've built a couple of cedar strip canoes with real easy lines. The stern of this hull worries me. Is it strippable? Comments? Suggestions? There are a few dimensions that can't change. Station 6 has to be high enough for my fee with boots on, and the stern has to be around 30" to fit two people inline.

Thanks for any comments!
