How is it a hybrid cockpit? And nice speed.

I like the look of a deck but is not practical for Alaska. What I did is a combination an open skiff and a deck. It helps with the lines of the boat, but keeps it practical for coming up on beaches. This photo shows it better. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u15/ ... oattop.jpg I spent a lot of time on the bottom getting the planing surface flat. There is also added structure to keep it that way. I have my eye on a stainless 15" pitch prop and some boyseen reeds. Hoping to hit 40mph

Welcome to the forum. Your site is fantastic. The boat looks great (and the lifestyle looks even greater!)

Craig, that is a cool modification. Good luck with your 40mph mark! I am trying to get to that mark also.
