Skin-on-Frame: seeking accumulated wisdom on Seat Tour 15 exp bui

Howdy all, i'm new here...just getting started on a pair of Tom's Sea Tour 15 exps, SOF. I'd like to "pick your brains" on any design tweaks or construction tips you folks might have, before i go too far (loftings done...plywood aint cut yet). For example, i was told i might want to widen frame 4 and 5 a bit to make the rear ride a bit higher. i think i might like to do hatches, and was planning to use 2 gal (9.375") Gamma Seal lids. Any experiences with these? Also, my son asked if the coaming could be a bit wider (hes a big fella)...good idea? bad idea? I really appreciate any advice and welcome all comments.
