Ocoee saddle placement?

Fishform is the latest craze, as in the Spark and a number of Millbrook boats. So don't worry if you find you have been sitting backwards. It worked for you !!

I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SAME ON BOTH ENDS.

Does the Ocoee have an asymetrical hull? Mine's backwards, been wondering if I should change it.

How does the label read? Eeoco?

Have to think about that, but the serial # plate is on the front

well if you keep paddling backwards doesnt that mean your boat is going fowards?

The Ocoee hull is symmetrical.

("Awl saim bak tu frunt" as k-boaters would put it.)

I know this, because I tried turning around and facing the other end. I missed eddies with the same ease as t'other way.

The only problem with turning around was that I started at the take-out, and ended up at the put-in.

John: I have outfitted quite a few. I usually place the spine of the paddler 7 inches behind the center (Mikey gave me the dimension) . Thats usually just the edge of the backrest of the pedestal. That puts the boat neutral.

so does anyone (old dagger folks?) REALLY know if the boat frankie designed is symmetrical and where is the serial number placed.

I think its sysmetrical. the designer said this was the stern and that how I want it. I alway thought the serial number were placed in the stern.

this just got me wondering how many frankie designs are asymmetrical and how many are not
