Definately back on topic. The original complaint was about WOODEN VISIONS, visions of Shawn's FURNITURE boat! Shortening 2' will affect the tracking, narrowing 2" compensates slightly, we're losing displacement now. You need Carlson's Design Shareware! I Think you're approaching the Phoenix Poke Boat!
