Guys, Marty and I may team to build this hull as a winter project, I've been in R and D mode for weeks determining issues......
Got a few questions for the knowledge on here.... ( Everyone's saying Jerry D, is the man to ask, so Jerry, help us out!)
Any of you twin guys I met at the champs feel free, too... I was impressed, and this will be the pinnacle of my meager experience...
What aspect, will most help compensate for the serious amount of weight this boat will support on the rear?
Thoughts of A: wider boat, overall.
B: deeper tunnel, ie: more air, more lift?
C: airfoil/wing center, more forward, or back to help balance/support
D: what effect is gained, or lost, actually building a wedge shape from front to back, or
vice versa, effectively funneling/releasing the air in the bottom of the center section?
E: wider sponsons only, C/S the same
F: what effect of building more or less angle into the C/S vs the sponsons example,
front of C/S higher than the rear?
Input would be great! For the most part, without building 10 proto's a few steps in the right direction, would be appreciated.... thanks Mike
