thanks for the explanation SinOjos...and for the record, I do believe that one or more big scoop attract a nice pair or two:evilb:

I believe the 29' 11" but 13" for the Bussel???

Those trim tabs look about 18 to 24" ???

Without being upside down, I waited for the lighting to be just right to capture the details of the steps in the bottom and pad:

Would you have anymore hi-def pics of the boat upside down?


I can't really make this out, but it seems that the deadrise angle

is variable as you move towards the transom.

Any more upside pics like this?

I'd like to continue our technical discussion onto our next planned topic:

" OL S V29: Hull Design Analysis "





.

The others I have are blurry, see what I can put up later

.

Sharkey,

This is an awesome pic!

Can you change the contrast so that we can see the details of the bottom?

Engineers at Dodge realized the efficiency of the NACA duct when grafted one on the Viper.You can hear the air being sucked in at a ferocious rate like no other hood intake on other cars.They went back to this design on the new 2013 Viper.

I must have misunderstood what the guy that measured & built the trailer told me.... I remember Steve Stepps Thouroughbred 26 becoming a Velocity 280 by adding a swim platform... its not unusual to overstate the lenght of a boat... and not a crime imo... Reggie was constantly rediculed for the LOA of his boats due to the "beak" and swim platform... I've always felt it was more important that you liked the size of your boat then what the manufactured tagged it as....

Depends on where the scoop is in relation to the airflow. You can have a super slick airplane that can't taxi or over heats in flight due to too slick an airflow.

P-51 is a prime expample. I suppose the big scoop is what allowed those pilots to do well with the ladies. :hijack:

Now if Romer would just cut the scoops off his skater he probably could be Top Gun this year!

Dustin , i superimposed the stern image of my 24* deadrise boat to the OL's and it seems to have a 22*.Am I right ? Just want to get the cat out of the bag.
