Excuse me while I brag just a little. I have gotten the seat and backband installed and got to spend some time out in my boat. Today I took it out and did one of things I had in mind when I designed it. I fished out of it. Fishing was harder than I expected. The small OC cockpit is drawback but the boat behaved very well. The more I use it the more I am impressed. The hull performs leaned turns very well. It has enough secondary stability that I am comfortable really leaning into the turns without fear of it tipping.

I don't know if I could do it again, but this boat is close to perfect for my use. I guess even a blind monkey get a banana every once in a while. Actually I owe several people a lot of thanks for their input.
