    ^ As for jeans and other men's trousers, the current lot is a curse to mankind. They have tightly tapered bottoms that are difficult to put on and more difficult to take off. I call them pistol bottom pants.. .........excuse the distraction please.

    Now back to boats..........

    The rework looks clever and extensive with the new cabin top. What would be the outcome performance-wise of widening the bottom back through the stern?

    More cargo capacity, wider deck and maybe higher top speed.
