Not. A. Fan. Never have been and never will be (call it anti-bias call it whatever). Every big alloy boat I've seen (except some plate boats) bob around like corks.

Yep out in the ocean you need a bitnof weight in the hull.so stop rocking.
I think some of the big glass boats have concrete in them for stability

Yes it is the same hull, but the interior layout is a little different.
