You eman the size of the black seas baracuda hulls? or larger?

I eman LARGER ;-)  The BSB is 16 wide, and yes you got it, I'd like 24.

As I have posted before, I can't find a way to make a good looking ship
larger than three decks and four midsections, and the problem is the width.
At 16 studs, going beyond 4 midsections makes the ship seem too narrow (more
like a canoe than a ship).  At 4 midsections, you can't go taller than three
decks without looking poorly proportioned.  The Agamemnon
(http://www.hinet.net.au/~guinan/aga.htm) is about as big as I think I want
to go with 16 stud hulls.

I liked Dan Jezek's big ship (http://www.aloha.net/~danjezek/ship.html), but
I don't want to do all the rough stuff he had to do around the waterline to
get around being built on a too small hull.  And I don't want to forgo the
hull pieces (Ben's World of ABS style
http://www-public.tu-bs.de:8080/~rbeneke/lego/ben_abs.html)

I like the hulls, I just dream about having BIGGER ones!

Still baldly going...
Check out Port Block at http://www.hinet.net.au/~guinan/

I would be happy for a black seas baracuda size ship.
