Per my model year 2000 catalog the Current Designs Solstice GT has the 
following specifications;
Length 17 feet 7 inches (5.4 m)
Width 24 1/4 inches (61.6 cm)
Depth 14 1/2 inches (37 cm) add 3/4 inch (1.7 cm) for high volume version)
Weight 55 pounds (25 kg) in fiberglass and 49 pounds (27.2 kg) in Kevlar
Cockpit opening 16X31 inches (41X79 cm)
Rear hatch opening 12X17 1/2 inches (30.5X45 cm)
Forward hatch opening 8X14 1/2 inches (20X37 cm)
Total volume 106 gallons (400 liters)
Hull design Fish form shallow "V"

I doubt that the specs have changed in the last two years, it costs 
quite a bit to change the molds.  I hope that this helps you in your 
search, I have the catalogs from several other manufacturers as well if 
you need other information.

passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
