You are right, hope I didn't besmirch Sundowner. But as my fish boat friends have told me they really like a vessel with a broad transom so they can pack in the weight.

Years ago Art DeFever designed the hull form on his vessels (like mine) to be able to hold lots of stern weight for charter (big guys with coolers) and commercial fishing if so configured. If set up for fishing, our aft cabin volume would hold about 10,000 lbs of people, ice and fish!
