The arc on the bottom does cut out the rocker,but at what degree. The width affects the rocker too. But we'll stick to one thing at a time. You need to know about how much weight you will carry most of the time and ajust this 2" or 1 /2" for the arc. what you want is the bow just out of the water. If is to high, it will catch air and you will wander back and forth. If in the water than you will be pushing water the whole time. this is another notch up,good luck, keith
