Hi,
How was this boat before you chopped it? I'm thinking about building an 18' version with a strip deck, and I was wondering what the original boat was like for comfort? I tend to like a roomy boat, one with room for my feet to point straight up and knees bent(size 11 feet) and enough room for a week of camping. I was wondering if I built a strip deck if I could design forms to add some deck height fore and aft. Just dont need a rolling machine, even though I like that look.
