Hello Rich,
I can also only warn you to change the depth of the boat by increasing the vee
form.
I took one of my boats to pieces because I did so. The boat was called 'The
Log'.
And other builders I know of did the same mistake, sometimes to increase the
carrying capacity
and ended up with nonusable boats.
