Yes a narrow boat is more efficient than a wider boat. But it also takes more material to make a wider boat. Also scantlings need to be heavier...
How come pangas are more efficient? Most boats that I like the stem have continuous curvature above and below the chine. But when you cut width...
I was conceding defeat. Not sure how that is snarky
