I don't know if that adds anything to the discussion, but >I thought I'd mention it. My kids can't divorce me, can they? We did something unusual to consider that possibility. If the bow rider is lighter like a kid or a pet, the double will tend to leecock. So we added a front skeg. If the front rider is too light and unbalances the boat, we lower the front skeg as needed and compensate for that. It can even be paddled by only one person in the stern. The tricks works always if you always sit the heavier paddler in the stern. And following Duane comment it is the lighter paddler who gets the wetting in the surf launch.
