Bow Width

[krwsr]

The narrow bow really has little affect other than a little less weight and I think they look better. There are a few advantages though. Putting the curve in helps strengthen the gunnels a bit. When getting on plane the front of the boat raises slightly and you are pushing on the wide part of the boat any way. The narrower bow also helps when you are idling, there is not as much width there to push water. When on plane there again is not as much width to trap air, not much of a difference but there is some.

Thanks Papee, I can buy that.
