You may be confusing "hook" with "rocker". The 311's have a slight rocker bottom, meaning the the hull bottom goes up slightly toward the transom. That's why our boats are a bit "light" in the bow. A hook would cause the bow to drive down.

ummmm .... up as in Concave? to me thats a hook .... which would force the bow down .....as in tabs down .... a Rocker is not a bulge ? Convex? which would make the bow light ? Which brings up the question .... Porposing ....does that mean the bow is too light and tries to lift ? Or is it too heavy and gets to a point and falls ?

what was this thread about anyway???? :cool-smiley-011:

Well, not to hijack the thread but, rocker is like a banana-shape. The hull bottom is not totally straight, it rises slightly as it transitions to the transom. A hook is usually at the aft-most portion of the bottom and "hooks" downward. The downward hook acts like tabs in, forcing the bow down. Rocker in a hull lets the bow rise.

Now, back to the regularly scheduled program.:D

Yup. They also have rocker built into them. I hope that they run well with Konrads as well!!! Of course by the time that I get my boat in the water, maybe Konrad will be gone as well. :D
