what was this thread about anyway????
Well, not to hijack the thread but, rocker is like a banana-shape. The hull bottom is not totally straight, it rises slightly as it transitions to the transom. A hook is usually at the aft-most portion of the bottom and "hooks" downward. The downward hook acts like tabs in, forcing the bow down. Rocker in a hull lets the bow rise.

Now, back to the regularly scheduled program.

Yup. They also have rocker built into them. I hope that they run well with Konrads as well!!! Of course by the time that I get my boat in the water, maybe Konrad will be gone as well.
