    Dave,
    I have found the information you have shared on the stability tank very
    interesting. Before your posts regarding Swansong I had never heard of
    them.

    I have a small boat with a full displacement soft chine hull. At 30' she is
    obviously too small for fins & while paravanes are an option they are a
    hassle & would not solve 2 big problems, rolling at anchor & rolling caused
    by wakes in channels. I would think that if a boat meets the stability
    requirements the physics of the stability tank would not be limited by boat
    size. What do you think?

    We took a simple and effective way for us. We too never leave the dock
    without our tank "turned on"...as a matter of fact it's always "on" ;-) Swan
    Song was a rolly lady and now she's a well mannered comfortable one all the
    time.

    YMMV
