Bob,
I think a 300 sqft limit sounds like a good starting point...although I still have visions of a mast head chute and the boat riding bow high like a skiff!

I also agree that the boats will probably come to a width under 8' - if you had a 14' boat that's 10' wide it would pitchpole Loooooong before a hull lifted off the water.
Sounds like a great start - I can't wait to join you (but it will be a while for me).
