Kmoose, I understand you,with the overall trip I make will be on a river/with tide and sound that is mostly 1 1/2 chop so the hull should work to my advantage .56 miles is my round trip so the fast cruise is my goal at 35-39mph with wot in low 50's. I travel with 60 gal fuel two rods and me.I hope to return with 20gal of fuel. Enertia 19p may work ,has 16 dia.,we"ll see.
