Re: FS17
Frame C is the widest.
It is 29 7/8 from the centerline at the chine. So just over 60 inches if you include the panel thickness.
The baseline distance isnt marked on that frame (the line is drawn through it so no measurement there)
The baseline isnt much higher though at that frame, so maybe a couple inches wider each side for a total of around 64ish?

Any boat can have a rounded chine. The question is, is it worth the effort? I would say no due to the draft of the FS17. You only normally do it from Frame C forward. If your looking at a shallow draft boat with the rounded chine then look at the FS18 or LM18. Both are very shallow running boats.
I suggest you look at your program and what you will be using your boat for be for deciding on a plan and come back and ask which would be best for that.
