: Here's what I did (just cause I don't see too many squirts to try out here).
: The 3rd and 4th boats are more squirt like, but I don't have pictures yet.
: If you would like to try this let me know I can help with creating
: offsets.
: Check out this site for some pictures of jerry in action.
: http://www.ofoto.com/I.jsp?m=4909046603&n=1556880624 Just look for the
: pictures with the wood boat. This method works nice for a proto type boat.

: Or as .tim mentioned you will fit a bigfoot.

: Hafte

I had seen your website before but could never find it while looking.

Can you give us some info on your glass layup on the boats.

Also, how did you do your designs offset-wise - borrow from a few commercial yaks?

Are your 3rd and 4th boats performing much better than the first2 in your opinion?

Any info apppreciated. very nice work.

thanks,
