: Just a sprint with my shorter Lumpy GP. I'm still trying to work
: out padding to keep the keel from killing my tailbone and built
: it as a roller/play boat not expecting it to be fast.

: Wow Dan, That's 6.4 knots--very fast. Especially for a SOF. Is that

My Sea Ranger is much the same, very quick. Though I've not taken the GPS with me to check.

Btw, you gradually get used to the feel of being stretched out like that, takes hours in the boat to do it. Much more stable than you thought too huh?
