Hi Dan-

My wife is looking over designs. Alas, she's thinking of a hard boat rather than a skin boat, but I promised her I'd build what she wants if she picked it out. Have you tried Thomasson's Hunter design? I am incredibly easily swayed by aesthetics, and this is his best LOOKING design, in my opinion. She's small and weighs around 130. She's a little nervous about tippiness, but compared to my 18 3/4" skin boat I have a hard time imagining a 20 1/2" boat with soft chines being TOO tippy. Plus- She's Swedish, so that may be a selling point...

Mike
