this one is interesting,it was a large fatcat that had a problem,the wood was so dense on the tail end that it would not swim right.
I tried several lips but, no go.
so,instead of just taking it apart and throwing it to the water gods like a do with a bad build I took it and reshaped it into a hound dog design which took off the tail end and then turned it around so now the nose was the tail.
it should swim proper now.

stretched rip-commander.
the original design is thicker,i shaped this one then stretched it out some since the wood I used was a bit shorter than I wanted.

the blue/grey one is something like 17 inches,the second one is 13 inches and the rest are right around 15-16 inches.
