Technical Questions For Steve 1
#101
Good Eye Dave, when I did the math models at 1200# VS the 15-18 degrees found in 5000# Hulls I came up with something a "little" different in deadrise also a byproduct of the radical bottom clean up was My stuff is able run in the rough and not beat up the crew.Look at a Cheetahcat run it does not create much of a disturbance at high speed everything is on the pads. the second boat I sent to Kuwait they were leading a very rough race and the boat trying to run second behind them crashed killing some people and the race was black flagged. the deadrise allows it to sink just enough in the wave crest to allow a straight path,If you are going up or down the boat is not going forward very fast.
On the M-11 Vid look at the beginning and watch it travel through the pack of M Boats.Watch the first 50 seconds for the cheetahcat then the pads and deadrise will be better explained.

makes sense to me. I always thought using a delta pad can give you some speed but at the cost of a harsher ride. Buy coupling it with a steeper deadrise you can restore some of that, so theres is a balance between the two. This was something you found in the math beforehand? So through design you dont necessarily need a heavy boat to tame rough water.

From a Technical standpoint, I honestly do not understand some of the key terms & phrases being used in this thread, but beyond those points, I've learned more from reading the past 10 pages, than I have read anywhere else online.
The knowledge & experiences that Steve has been sharing, is amazing.
