The Pax 18 has 4.25" of rocker, which is a lot by any objective standard. I know of a lot of people (myself included) who use the Pax 18 in waves. Obviously a very wet boat even with a taller bow, but not unstable or particularly tricky.

I endorse Mr. Grainger's artful mods, which are a straightforward matter of extending the sides past the "destroyer" bow mandated solely by a desire to fit into the ACA 18-foot touring class. Looks good, and we are supposed to be having fun, right?
