If you work your way into the Guillemot pages in Nick's website, you can find an enlarged version he did of the design; look for the Guillemot L. It may offer enough extra volume and space to do the job for you; as I recall there are hydrostatics and maybe a stab curve.

: John,
: i believe the G17 displaces 215lbs so you will ned some volume as well as
: space for feet/legs. I would think that repeating the center form would
: add the necesary volume plus help out with the leg room. Check out where
: you feet would end up with this configuration and then measure the deck
: height to see if you would be comfortable with it. You can easily peak you
: deck or change the shape above the waterline without affecting the
: performance. Another option is to look at the G-expedition for the added
: volume.
: Cheers
