Stability
Should add some good stability. Didn't you do this to another boat recently? How did that one go?
Is the ballast on the trailer to stabilise it while working on it?
Also love the hardtop horizontal rod rack. Great use of space.

No so sure about this. I
Not so sure about this.
I always see that kind of thing as similar to a foil on a outboard. Just trying to put a band aid on a nasty handling fault.
My immediate reaction if I saw this at the ramp was it was added on as it was too unstable with all that weight high on a little boat.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Im with you on this
Im with you on this one!
Will look totally different when it is painted but.
Good safety margin i guess. Would they catch the wind and lean the boat over?

weight up high? on the
weight up high? on the contary it is a weight factor but not high its ova all, guess you can say its a 7m jammed into a 4m dingy ( gotta have all the goddies) all up almost 800kgs of dinghy, there is nothing wrong with the performance of the hull and is a great little rig. Trouble is I need to get that waterline down, so apart from starting to rip stuff out to reduce weight this is the best option. as a one man fisher its a great tub to be in add two medium people its bearable but put someone packing some punch on board yes stabilitly is not user freindly (I also need to get into my head that it is still really a dinhgy). So buy adding nearlly 400mm in width and some extreme bouyancy ( wich are both foamed filled to ) my guess is you bweedy.... will post an update when i drop it into the drink, and yup new the trailer would get a comment that is my workshop one lol ( could be familiar to someone thou)

ball park mid ,hi 30ts all
ball park mid ,hi 30ts all depends how far you want to go. And yes do agree if just wack on a couple of tubes on the side ( alot of very important details behind the scene that must be done to achieve the end result and work well ) it can really upset the hull. If I have acheived wat i think will be actaully drafting a complete new hull to suit, but that looks athstectically pleasing and not like a add on. Will be test running it on a shitty day to see wat the outcopme is, and will let you all no wat it dose (with no bulshit or lies) if it dosnt work could be a very cheap boat lol
