If it ain't got a beak, it's just another plain jane.

This thread is hilarious. You have to admit from a marketing perspective the beak is brilliant. Maybe it provides lift (performance) maybe it doesn't. It certainly stands out in a crowd and adds size. For whatever reason I'm drawing a correlation to breast implants.

The beak helps direct the boat to the ocean floor when you land a little nose down!!

They have a similar drop nose design on the Force boats here in OZ. Downright scary in big seas cause it constantly feels like your about to get swamped. They definatley are a quicker design in calm waters though as the drop nose does create lift.
Check them out:
