I had figured I would make one large open cockpit in order to fit kids; maybe I'll do a triple instead. Do you scoot them an even amount in each direction - in order to get a 33 inch cockpit in there - or one more than the other?

: Yes, the Pygmy triple is the exact same hull as the double, just a different
: deck.

: Actually, I'm still considering making it a double, since that's mainly how
: it'll be used.
: I believe having the front and rear cockpits further apart hurts
: maneuverability - they are about 7 feet apart, which seems a bit much to me.
