Never rowed the tunnel hull design... my feelings about the wind are that the effect is so great because of its lightness. I am not convinced that the tunnel hull provides as stable a platform as the chines on a aluminum boat but I will reserve final judgement until I get a chance to try it out...I am curious too.

A good point Crayfin, and something else to consider...a Mr. Heater can damage a glass boat. I run Mr. Heaters when its cold; letting the surface of the fly deck get hot is a great way to alleviate the drawback of cold aluminum. You can't do this in a glass boat, at least you run the risk of damaging your boat if you do. Maybe there are solutions to this problem I have never heard of.
