Karl, I don't understand what you mean by this statement:

>>Honestly just looking at hull shapes compared to the Falcon, (which I did see in person a couple of weeks ago), the FXone still has a better shape to it, but that is from the eyes of a casual observer/potential buyer/admittedly biased opinion. She's got a fat butt in comparison, and weight does mean a hell of alot in this sport, especially when its in the realm of 35%.<<

Are you saying the Falcon has a fat butt?

When it comes to all the different hull shapes out there, I try to look at each one as if I designed it, and ask why it's shaped like that. Each is shaped for a specific purpose, so I look at the hull and ask myself, "What wind/water/wave conditions was that designed for? And what will happen when you get into some other type of wind/water/wave conditions?

I think every boat is designed with a "Purpose" in mind. The quest becomes to find the right boat design for your purposes, and not some design that really won't work in your situation. I think all cats I've seen designed in the past 20 years are very "Pretty" to look at, fat butt or no. You just have to decide if that's going to "work" for your situation. Ocean sailing? Lake? 1 up, 2 up, heavy, light, big wind, light air??? All of that should be considered.
