If this suspence keep's building I may just wet myself.

new hull
 

New hull design update.
31' deck getting finishing touches on plug. Still recognizable as a Sutphen but lots of subtle changes, like fighter plane air intakes, reverse air dam wind deflector (no more windshields) and a little more rounded gunnels

Rounded gunnels like the stern section of the old 20's and 30's?

Sutphil,
Yes, but change aspect by increasing the height. Until Rich is finished this is like the blind man trying to describe an elephant. Anyway I will keep impressions coming for what they are worth.
