I'm not sure if I've learned anything from your post .... what is it you are trying to say?

And don't forget possibly ruin its reputation for a great ride. I would be suprised to see that happen. No offense.

So which is more stable???

And the water conditions, and the load in the boat, and the power package, and the props, and the water (salt/fresh), and...

Damn, too many variables - best to stick with the marketing dept pictures, I think.

LPA, tell me about how my hull is doing;)

Gary,
I'll tell you the same thing I told LS Jr. in another thread;

I think that gentlemen is fishing with a long pole and serious lack of bait. If he has any legitimacy he his a serious Fountain chill, no problem with that I preach for my brand also and if he's legit more power to him they are good boats.
But until he sticks his neck out instead of talking to himself I would not take him to seriously. Let him show his colors as to where he is, what he runs and anyone here that knows him or of him then maybe he will be worth talking with.
It's hard to play tennis by yourself.

GEE YOU don't think boat speed had anything to do with the difference in the pictures.

Warpaint, your hull sucks cause it doesn't have aeration, and we have all learned from pictures that if you don't have aeration then you are overpriced and a dog.

LPA, you amuse me.
You think you have arrived at some monumental conclusion about hull design by comparing the "spray pattern" from:

A shot of a lightweight race hull going around 100-110mph.

Versus a Formula running 40mph in a brochure shot?

I'm laughing, and I regret to admit that I'm laughing AT YOU, not with you. Sorry, but I just can't stop.

Buddy, REALLY, you are going just a tad overboard on your observations. No saying it's a bad thing to analyze things - not at all. And it is apparent that you are indeed doing your level best to assemble lots of "raw data". But you don't have enough ammunition to conclude anything yet. Stay calm, the answers will come...

this is a suck hull. see, the boat is touching the water...

I guess from what I've learned here, all single step hulls are designed wrong - no second step to ride on the aeration.

Bet Active Thunder is gonna be pissed at that naval architect, Harry Schoell, since he designed the hull. And pity poor, ignorant Mike Fiore over at Outer Limits - all these years his 37' has been wrong and he didn't even know it!

Thank God for the internet!! :rolleyes:

GL, trust me, I was being facetious ... I didn't want to be the first to call him a bonehead :D

Brilliant Thread. This is even better than staying at a Holiday Inn Express. :rolleyes:

and they got rid of the 'Magic Fingers' decades ago............:p

Hey, I resemble that remark.... stayed @ one in Hamilton Ontario on our way back from the Sunsation factory.. my wife got ripped off... :mad: :mad: she paid while I unloaded the car.. 115.00,, she paid in American and didn't realize the price was canadian,, that guy loved her.. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Those cunning Canadians! :mad:

:D That sucks.

So tell me what this hull is doing !?!?!?!?:D

Obviously that hull is completely inefficient and therefore slow as molasses in January. Judging by the X and Z coordinates in the geometry of the spray pattern, combined with the constant rate of decay of the dilithium crystals in a fresh water environment, multiplied by the coeffiecient of drag from the yellow paint, shows unequivically that the hull is nothing but a 2nd rate knock off of an old resin bucket.

Ain't science grand? ;) :D

You guys are HARSH!

Nah, I put a ;) and a :D for good measure? What else do you want, ya damn ingrate... :D :D

Besides, we've been pretty easy so far - I mean, no one has brought up X dimension, pad or no pad, dimensions of the pad if present, location, size and length of strakes, transom notches, extension boxes, and a whole range of other variables that contribute to how a particular hull interacts with a variable surface like water.

Dont forget the Ad agency
 

Photoshop adds 32.657 miles per hour. So buy your boat from a really good geek

This all made me think..... uh ohhhhh

You guys ever ride on a glass bottom boat? Now wouldn't it be cool to "sayyy" watch the the water pass by under a stepped an non stepped bottom boat and see what the difference is.

I was on a glass bottom boat on vacation once. Once we got up on plane you could see the air bubbles every now and then pass under the boat.

Maybe outerlimits could do this, hey they are already making translucent engine hatches.

Steps don't mean nothing when it's rough!!!

Uhhhmmmm .. is this bubbled water or is it trimmed poorly :eureka:

Amen

how about props only ?

well Jerry. . .if that was from last years LEOPA poker run he was do'n 102 . . .atleast he was when he went by me :eek: :cool: :D :cool: great pic by the way.

whats the big "M" on the hatch for :D :D
