Looking at a Seidelmann 299

Given your use the Seidelman 299 has two real strikes against it, first of all they were pretty poorly constructed. There was a good string on the 299 that should still be in the archives. The other was that they had a pretty narrow waterline beam and a pretty high center of gravity and so were not expecially stiff as 30 footers go. Of course, all of these things are relative and in that sense they would certainly seem more stable than the 25 foot trailerable that you are used to.

Respectfully,
Jeff
