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 aerodynamics certainly play a large part as speed increases, as everyone who has taken flying lessons learns early on in ground school, that as speed increases wind resistance doubles.
Do a google search for NACA. Every time I see a boat with big hood scoops, my first thought is, there's some unnecessary drag. Perhaps they want to impress the bikini wearers with their big hood scoop!

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....

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


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