Getting bulbs, with enough volume to solve the problems, on those thin hulls might be quite the trick. I am thinking mostly about how long they might be to get them faired in. I sure you will come up with a good plan :wink:

I am building a Skoota 36 in BC and I think I have a solution for your problem, off course it is just an opinion.
I did send you a message via Jeff, so please contact me.

You can call or email me anytime.

I moved the water tanks 17' aft,

The solar panels are forward of cog.

I can move the engines back 4".

I can cut some stuff from the settee and lose some weight.

I can make the netting beam carbon.

But all the changes are only going to do a little.

The best solution is bow extensions. Then four people sitting in the settee won't drop the front.

If I were an inch or two away; it'd be easy, but with the solar panels on, I am 6.5" below dwl at zero (stem).

How is the drafting for the bow extensions/bulbs coming?

It is actually progressing well, the designer is determining the required size of the thing, then will draw. The boat is in neg trim 8.4".
