I lowered the freeboard by a foot, since there is plenty of seakeeping ability. This is the new Springsharp 3.0 freeboard display. I did that to save weight. I also lowered the maximum speed to the originally designed 33 knots. I fixed the bow type to be a ram. I had wondered why I was not able set that as an option. This is the Springsharp report:
