Re: MG20 questions to designer
what i was thinking of ,in short version, that your boat has much more hull/bottom underwater than original MG and that makes it more stable. The more submerged surface, the more stable the boat.

Re: 1986 19' Atlantic rebuild
One of my PT instructors went out to Missouri or Arkansas with 4 of his buds and shot 102 geese two weeks ago. Impressive pile of meat on the ground with them standing around the geese. Every state has their own season on fly way birds. NC season for some geese is Feb 12 - Mar 31.

Re: GT23
A graphite-epoxy bottom will last forever. Mine was 12 years old when i sold it to another member. It was straight graphite over the primer. If you put it on over neat epoxy rough up the epoxy with 80 or 120 grit sandpaper.
