[QUOTE="okavango, post: 390122, member: 14682"] Thanks Ranchero The hull is a full 72" wide at the beam, but I do hope the displacement will allow the boat to carry weight and get on the step at a reasonable speed, I am with you on placing a strake further forward, I was thinking of removing all the strikes at the back of the boat and adding one on the keel at about 2/3 length. The thinking is I need a pivot point for slow handeling in narrow channels antd hopefully it will provide stability at speed. Strange you mention crocodiles, the first time I piloted a Outback hull was in support of Brad Besterlink and his wife Andy filming their natural history documentary "Diving with crocodiles" learned two things that day, I liked the outback hull, and my friends are mad, Thanks for all you input on the forum it certainly is of massive assistance to guys like me trying to get ideas in remote locations [/QUOTE]
