I am thinking ahead to next winter when I will likely bring my Peeler into the basement for some refinishing and potential modifications.  In my opinion the boat while ideal in most respects does not have enough lateral stability.  I am contemplating removing the small runners and replacing them with something a little taller., maybe 2 - 3 inches.  My thought is to emply a pair of sacrificial skegs that would live on the water side of the bottom layer of glass and be easily replaced - UHMWPE or white oak.  

Does anyone else believe that we need a little more lateral stability?  Has anyone adressed this? How?

John H.  - what is your opnion?

For reference, my Peeler lives in the water 8 months of the year and our shores are primarily gravel and shells.

Thanks,

Jeff
