The deck was not modified on the Outerlimits kilo boat. The only change was an insert continuing the canopy till it met the engine hatch (eliminating the rear window) for
aerodynamics.

The old kilo boat worked. I wouldn’t have changed anything but the power.

Were they worried about it blowing over like a cat? Has a vee ever done that?

A vee wont go up and over per se... when there is very little boat in the water and a 200 mph head wind it can easily push the bow one way or the other, so it would be like a blow over but sideways

It's difficult to be polite and stay quiet after the "almost" horrible experience I had with him. So... I'll just "like" your post, and smile quietly!
