    Some time has gone by, I took a small vacation to surf and now I'm back at it.

    This is an extension of the design study that I was working on along with Will's beautiful hull ideas for an outboard powered coastal boat that could cruise all day economically.

    I removed the sponson forms and added a set of amas for stability on this very skinny hull.

    Just to recap...
    24' LOA
    24" BWL
    Beam with amas 10'
    5 hp outboard
    Trailerable as demountable design

    I'm new to the group. Have I missed out on something about this boat?

    I like the way it looks.

    An inboard might lower the CG enough to do away with the Amas.

    Looks great!

    I like it, and want it, although for me personally I'd like to cant the windscreen back further for a more aerodynamic look.

    But that's just me.

    Hi Alex,
