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????

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.

The hookie/rocker thingie in a nutshell

311's with out a doubt have rocker built into them. That is why they work so well with the Kamma drives.

Nort your a dead man.... DEAD I TELL YA!!!!!

302's ran pretty well with Kaama drives too.

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.
