: Is it the F1 you're talking about?

: scalability to the design; the ability change the size and shape
: a bit for different sized paddlers and different uses"
: which would be nice. Now I've never built a boat/less
: scaled/modified one... where can one find yostlike xsections for
: it and how does one go about scaling/reshaping the thing?
: I think that's as long as I could go but I'd have to hang it on an
: overhang over the fence... dunno what the "friendly"
: condo board would say...LOL. Your boat looks great... I'd want
: to put 2 deck stringers on the bow just cause I like the Sea
: Rider's look so much.
