                An interesting mod, what are you hoping to accomplish? When we were designing this hull the front non-trip "step" was added for...well I don't know why it was added. I wondered how the hull would work without it, although the boat runs very well with it. I really like my MC, as I modded it it is a bit different power-wise but it is a contender. Keep posting your results.

                      Good for you. Without trial and error we would not advance the hobby very quickly!

                          Are you trying to sort of make a OPC out of it? Are you putting a outboard on it? Or leaving it inboard?

                            Sticking an outboard on this hull would not make it an OPC. All OPCs are catamarans but not all outboard catamarans are OPCs....
