just one thing to add....
Don't forget the height of the boat on the table when you figure out your table height. What may be perfect working on flat peices can quickly become too high when the boat gets 3D
I was once milling up a load of maple logs for a guy on a band saw mill and we came across a log that was fiddleback throughout. The log was over 30" in diameter. I still have the 1 peice he let me keep. 10' X 14" X 5/4. The log from above and below it had nothing

I vote for electric, Ipersonally find gas motors obnoxious. yes they do a great job but that constant noise goes against why I get out there in the first place.
Battery technology is making some huge leaps right now in the weight department and as soon as the price comes down a 10lbs lithium...
I'll be watching this thread with interest. With my retirement coming in January I have been drooling over the SOF Stonefly Canoe. I will google this company as soon as I'm done reading here.
is it worth saying that part of the reason we put our seats aft of the center line is due to the weight of our legs forward of the centerline? Sit in your boat with your legs crossed and see how differently it performs. I would hazard a guess that the center of weight with your legs outstreched...
ha, I love these threads. Permit me to add my take.
I think the test was accurate for what was being proved or disproved.
What I see as proved:
1. An asymetrical hull will indeed show more stability than a symetrical....if....the center of weight is placed at the widest point or close to...
friction is a strange creature and water friction against a hull is yet a totally different form of friction than 2 solids rubbing together.
Most liquid lubricating compounds act more like a barrier between 2 surfaces so they don't actually touch thus reducing friction. Solid friction...
