I was wondering why you put the exhaust/funnels so far aft?

Look at the separate gear handling areas, one for gear that needs to go over
the side and one for gear that goes over the stern and I think you'll start
to get the idea. These boats also need windage aft to help maintain
attitude on station and the windage of those two stacks aft will help a lot.

The most critical operator view is of the wire that goes over the side
A-frame attached to perhaps a quarter million dollars worth of insturments.
That's why no uptake and stack between pilothouse and side gear handling
area.

Hi Roger, thanks for the thoughtful answer. Yeks, sounds like there is
a very sepecific purpose in that boat's future. I know little about R/
V design other than they are asked to do some really wierd things in
the name of quality data. Specialized use can make for some out of the
ordinary designs. Cool boat.
