Do you have any references I should look at?Gav That’s an interesting idea Rene – though I see potential problems with it. Do you have any references I should look at?

Dont know if it would work but a temporary 45 or 60 deg. ramp could prove or disprove. Regards.

H. Sucher's book Flat Bottom Boats has a similar 20' skiff . Thanks for the great work Dave Great ,this is a needed skiff. H. Sucher’s book Flat Bottom Boats has a similar 20′ skiff .
Thanks for the great work
