<p>Chris is right, but there may a solution that provides for the best of both worlds: One of the men who helped build my boat was a talented woodcarver. He carved a "leaping trout" figure and mounted it to an aluminum arrow shaft. There's a corresponding hole in the stem. When the boat is just hanging out, I can have the cool trout figure and when the boat is working, the stem is flat.</p>
