[hpv-boats] Open water hpb

[Ian Cassell]

Rick, saw your rendering for a decked in boat for use in open water, would the seat well be self draining? I have taken my boat out on the bay 4 times now ,on calm days with the biggest waves at 6". Even then it behaves like a submarine, its hardest to handle going before the waves at a 45 deg angle as the boat digs in . Maybe a surfski with a drive leg and two outriggers might be the best layout for an open water hpb as the surfski is a proven design and have the outriggers the same as for an OC1.
