Kind of weird. Certain water conditions make the hull act in diff. ways. In small choppy conditions the hull gets on top and runs out fairly smooth. Then at other times depending on which direction you are running into the wind or behind it the hull has a tendancy to get just a little squirrely. Only in the stern area. You can feel it. Other tnan that it runs out great. My pad is not a raised pad. All I did was come off each side from center approx 4" ea. wayCut 1x3 clear fir from 3/4 to 0 on edge. This worked out that the side edges were the same hight as the keel. .So no draft was affected depth wise.

A little saw dust, a little glue, and a lot of love, and she will float.

Thanks Ken. The tapeing came out really well. I battled a bit with the cloth lines (they're a bit scew), but they cover all the areas that they need to. Did you glass your hull sides all the way to the top

I like the way you did your strakes and pad, I think I'm gonna steal your idea :D

:lol: :lol: :lol: I'm trying :D

I thought so, after working 12 hours flat out one tends to try find short cuts :oops: . When I wake up tomorrow I probably won't even consider not doing it.

What size overlap do I need for the cloth on the side - 2"?

Shannon, I overlapped 4 inches on my cloth. I am pretty sure this is ok for your your boat, but others will comment. I used two layers of cloth on my boat so it quite different....
