They say the bow flair gives lift. I can say from experience that in really big water that when you are diving into a big wave you can feel it stop from diving deeper into the water.

Right! we went out of Destin harbor july 2008 the day a hurricane landed in texas. It was the biggest water I ever saw , we were climbing waves and when we came over the top we would have water even with the deck but never stuffed!!
