Default Aerodynamics

I am convinced that aerodynamics will play a much larger roll in the coming years as the speeds increase.I have been experimenting with trimmable carbon fibre wings on one of our boats in the UK with great results and also a vertical stabiliser fin for our Outerlimits here in the US both designs could be integrated into the overall design once size and shape are optimised.

Peter I was fascinated to follow your thread on your 29, will you continue it with your aero research?

Congrats to Nor-Tech. Sounds like they will have one heck of a display in Miami.

I remember 7-8 years ago, Fountain had the fastest CC at the NY Poker Run and it had no T-top either. Believe that ran 87mph. Big Jump!

I've heard about this boat but can't wait to see pics of it. Didn't believe the estimated top speed but the proof is in the piture! Congrats to all involved.

Growing up in La., I've been fishing since I could walk. It's been a little while since I've been fishing but I don't recall the fish being that fast. They must be after stepped bottom fish.....or cat-fish. lol

They can call it Catfish Killer.
