I would like to build this boat

Bataan,

Let's move this to The use of computers in boat design to keep from derailing this thread anymore.

That figure seems very low to me.

That time cockpits were very small, two seats under the roof, one bench back, thats all, never a standing headroom. Beam not more than 7 feet. Still I would say, definitely a Finnish runabout.

Now I'm imagining this boat as both a 30'-34' and a 25'! If it's that small with all this sleek bow, the low covered cockpit could be impractical for me at 6'. Maybe some kind of sliding roof could modernize it.

Im going to build it without the roof. I want a open boat. I just really like the rest of this boat.
