In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Designing for low tracking (Kudzu)

This is more a question than a suggestion but what would happen if you made the keel and stems 1.5 inches wide opposed to .75? It would have to be a stem that is a cross between a recovery and retrieval yak(over used terms created by Robert Morris, but you get the idea). Would it increase the maneuverability or just make it a pain to move through the water?
