: came up
: with is to switch to a S&G keel where the seat is (& build the rest of
: the boat SOF), so, if anybody is interested in this idea he can now have
: it - & let us know how it works.

The easyest way to lower the seat is to attach the floor boards to the outside of the ribs. Be sure not to place a rib directly under your butt.
