Joe builds beautiful boats and his workmanship is impeccable, but the  
"Roller's Recess TM"  always bothers me. Seems to me it is much bigger  
than it needs to be to serve the purpose of rolling easily. If he had  
taken the back deck back up immediately behind the coaming, it would  
have served just as well. It is really the back of the coaming you  
need low, not the back deck. The extended recess looks a little odd to  
my eye.

Of course my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt as I am  
always looking for ways to counteract my competitive jealousy at Joe's  
work.
