Bow Preference, Skinny or wide? One more day of work this week and I think I am finally going to get started on the hull, renovations for my wife turned out great! I was figuring on having a 18x8 with a 5' wide bow but same width all the way to the front would be easier. Will run the boat in a river mostly and might even see some white water so I was just trying to finalize my thoughts. I figured the narrow front end might be better in cross currents etc but never had a rectangular boat so don't really know. What's your thoughts!
