It would have been interesting to have mapped out the bottom of the Riv next to the bottom of a Revenge to see if the basic dimensions were different. From what I understand the Riv had more rocker (could be VERY wrong here) and also have the four strakes. It will be interesting if it will handle more like a B-boat now. Either way, it will be dang cool.

P.S. Parts are on their way. Let me know what else you might need Mike.

Yea, Billy said the Bezer had all the same dimensions as a standard Biesmeyer except the transom is about 6 or 8" narrower. The gunnels seem a bit wider making the cockpit have a narrower feel too.

That atmosphere maker you have weighs a pretty penny. Not that it is the only issue at hand, but it makes a difference. His sure will sit low though. I think he will figure something out when he gets to that point. I bet for now he is more worried about getting it out of the glass shop. LOL
