Doesn't get any clearer than that .. There is a Sweet Spot for how much Rocker is good. Too Much Rocker will make a Porpoise Machine.

Figure the Formula 302 is pretty straight. Are we talking a tiny amount?

What boats come with a hook? I've always thought a hooked hull was bad.

Good topic. I want to learn more about this... (Especially from T2X)

Why are most V's perfectly straight then?

Most V's are not perfectly straight. Many have built in rockers. Almost all Cigarettes and derivatives have built in 'rocker.' Scorpion 32, tempest 32/ 38. Avance and navigator are straight bottoms.
