: 'A Friend' (hehe) is looking at building a stripper, and likes the
: Outer Island from Uncle Jay. He's 6'4", weighs around 200#,
: wears size 14 shoes. Apparently Uncle Jay has indicated those
: size flippers won't fit in the Standard OI - but despite an
: exchange of emails, my 'friend' says he hasn't received
: clarification. So being such a great guy, I told him I'd ask
: here.

: Presumably the correct approach is to simply enhance the superior
: aspect of the forms going forward, to allow some wiggle room.
: Are there any particular guidelines, or is it trial by error?

I'd ask Jay before I did anything, but personally I'd just raise the freeboard which would keep the lines looking like it was designed but would make the boat deeper.
