When I had the boat, it had the daggers in the normal place. Bill told me that he was experimenting with boards in front of the beam like the ARC21, so there was a kidney shaped patch in the deck on the stbd side. I think the were symmetrical, but I never saw them--it was a matter-of-fact discussion. The bottom was finished, so you really couldn't tell what was there.
That was a nice boat, it looks a lot better than when I had it!
