Re: Sunsation F-4 Hull #3 pictures
We are going to be picking out the paint/graphics scheme for hull #5 after the show - and had your same thoughts in mind as far a a solid color....

Re: Sunsation F-4 Hull #3 pictures
I went by Hideaway Marina this morning and one of the 43's going into the show was there getting cleaned up. Very nice boat. It does have some different lines and dash layouts to it but it grows on you. I agree time will tell how it stacks up against other boats this size. My guess is that most will be very impressed with it at the Miami show.

From EBM - Sunsation - Building the Big One part II
Starting at the bow of the new F4 hull we find small steps on both sides of the sharply angled keel that Sunsation calls Laminar Flow Interrupters. Wayne explained that these Laminar Flow Interrupters come into play when turning the boat sharply or when the bow engages a wave. “They help to break the suction when the entire bottom is in contact with the water or when the boat is hard over in a turn,” Wayne explained. “When the entire bottom is in contact with the water, it causes deceleration, these two forward steps help the boat to maintain its speed during moments of full hull immersion. We’ve incorporated this step on some of our other boats and it worked really well so we’re building it into the F4 too.”
