The rails look interesting, I wonder how they would go?

The step deck , high performance rail design and still keeping the literage up in the middle Bnaccas is right it would be tippy......

Ive found more on the boards.

They have a heap of volumne relative to the width, with over 5 inches of foam in the middle.

They have a 7 footer with 117 litres for the " Ninja Monkeys".
Its 7’ x 28 1/2” x 5 1/16” - 116.3 ltr

My Laguna's rails are pretty low profile but it just has a rolled deck. I actually think this is less unstable in bumpy conditions as the chop is not bouncing off the fat rails.

I reckon the theory of fat rails = stability is somewhat flawed.

Jim at tropical blends spoke about this theory of a step deck being really stable if the rails are under water as the 'weight' of the water on top of the rail holds it down. Less bounce as Goatie said.

I feel like extreme rocker on my 9 9 may help stability as well with the tail and nose out of the water and the centre under water. Seems really stable might be a similar principle or it could be my imagination :-)
