Then there are the early 13's,
which have two long skegs in the rear.
Those things turn on a dime,
and track like a longer boat on fast wide arcs.

TP, I never really understood the design of the 13, I've seen so many upside down. I truly believe the design was for floating stability. I see a bit of "sea-sled" inspiration for the design in the front of the hull pre smirk. When I was growing up, my neighbor friends had a 13 with a 40, and they used to take neighborhood kids on rides just to throw them out of the boats by turning hard at high speed. I was a victim of the prank.
