: Hi Kirk,

: You didn't say and I don't remember, which ones you built (Yost
: boats) but one thing I've found is to get into the boat, sit in
: fairly shallow water and lean the boat, lifting one side with
: your legs keeping your body centered, and see just how far you
: have to lean before the boat loses secondary stability. On my
: boats, btw I'm 6', they have very light primary stability and
: amazing secondary stability. On my Sea Ranger I actually have
: water up onto the skirt before it loses secondary stability, the
: odds of rolling it unintentionally is very remote.

The Yost boats I made where both Sea Riders. The second one I made I enlarged the deck some to accommodate me. The first one was painful. But I liked the design.
