Hardly 'best guess' design...more nature of the beast. Same as that it is the nature of the beast that your 'Bu is going to ride like chit in even a mild chop.

I guess you don't know who you are talking to, or what is really being said without saying it... best guess, new to the AT forum.

I will let an expert or some one with experience in a DDC hull explain.

C'mon man...no love for my "We're Number Two!" idea? I'm thinking of having shirts made up! They will be brown.

I like the idea but am thinking #2 and the brown shirt is what you should be wearing when you get spit out of your boat when your #1 is all in the name and not the design.

Thoughts?

Nope dont know AT, but I do know stepped hulls...my speciality in school was high speed hydrodynamics...and if that hull was a cig from the 90'-2004 it was a Mike Peters hull, hardly a designer known for 'best guess' engineering.
