Just as important as the setup below the water line



The scoops are good size but will not generate positive bilge pressure at speed. The engine will take the first 1100 cubic feet per minute. The vent in the back of the hatch is most probably in a negative pressure area and will bleed off any pressure.

This is the nicest v bottom boat I've seen!! It just looks fast sitting there on the stands. The only negitve is that I'm sure the price tag will match is awesome looks, but I'm still curious. Anyone seen pics of the cabin?

It is very important to have a good aero design to get max results not just for wind drag but also for where and how much wind drag creates pressure (weight at speed) on the hull.

That was my thought too after seeing the boat in person at LOTO. This thing is a sleek, little bullet and aero has to play a big part in its performance.

Default OuterLimits SV29 - Hull Layup Analysis

.



The hull and hull pieces are built from epoxy, E-glass, and carbon fiber...and are sent into an autoclave at 150 degrees for 18 hours.

Then the hull, and hull pieces are chemically bonded using proprietary adhesives. Once glued, the entire structure goes back into the autoclave at 150 degrees for 18 hours again.


From mold to out-the-door in just 3 weeks with the above process


WOW!

This is bleeding edge technology!

No wonder there are patents to this layup schedule.


For the complete article, please get your copy of this awesome magazine!

Question Funny car bodies?

I believe I heard OlL is also building hi-tech funny car bodies for some big name drag racing teams and the money and experience there makes for some good "ruboff" into their hull building science.

Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar

Ditto this. I've seen multiple pics of two of these boats but have yet to see one pic of the cabin on either. I would like to see how it's layed out.

Buck.
