This is just a guess, but I think you are going to have serious C/G problems because of the narrowness of the design. Standard SOTs are all fairly wide (28-32") because their seating positions are slightly elevated over the standard sit-on-the-bottom position. Your C/G looks like it will be well above the waterline.
: Efficiency gains are hard to guess and even harder to model outside of
: professional naval architecture programs which I can't afford. The boat
: has a 22" beam so should be relatively easy to paddle. Sit on top and
: feet are in the hulls.
: Should (finally) have it in the water in a couple weeks at most and then
: we'll see.
