I'd need a cleaner bow wave and less wake. Talk about "a bone in her teeth"; she's got a whole elephant skeleton.
Doesn't unpainted aluminum get very hot in direct sun?
Yes! Yes, it does! Like fry an egg hot. I'm a big fan of aluminum, and also originally from the PNW and love the utilitarian unpainted aluminum look. But... I've often wondered how the Dashew FPB ( SetSail ) get around this? Can't imagine spending a few million $ on a boat only to have blisters on my feet and unable to maintain comfortable cabin temperature in the tropics.
Larry, I think your window mods are just what that boat needs. If it were mine, I would try very hard to make something like what you drew work-out. Even if it meant some significant changes inside.
