I would assume the 41/42 would be both better in the rough with the extra size, and faster with the twin steps than the 39, is this correct? If so, any advantages to buying the 39? Maybe handling, or just for someone wanting a straight hull?
Lastly, what came of the 2nd hull pulled from the 41/42 molds (other than the First Mohican which is an awesome boat?) Just curious from reading your website, Thanks Darren

Darren....paragraph 1 is correct...same mold just different sizes to avoid confusion between the two brand names...same as Don did with the Magnum 27 and 28....same hull different decks for that one.
41 is a bigger boat and to go best, really needs something like 1075's vs the 39 which could go very well with 525's.
The second piece is an "insurance" piece in case the molds ever burn or are damaged in any way. Don used to keep his extra pieces in a separate building away from Thunderboat Row.
Thanks for visiting the website.
