Lengthened Ocean Alexander MK1 handling characteristics?
Anyone out there with experience with lengthened Ocean Alexander MK1?
I am looking at one that was lengthened by 3 4 ft. As far as I know the propellers and rudders were not moved back. *I guess this will influence how the boat behaves when maneuvering in tight quarters. *What will the effect of having a larger (doubled?) overhang aft of the propeller/rudder be?
BTW: What was the main reason these boats where lengthened? To counteract squatting at cruising speed? *Added cockpit space?
