BradH,
The 38' Aero Speed Marine is built in a three piece mold that spits at the keel.

Load cases? Is that what I was trying to ask about when I was picturing one of these hull slamming back down into the water from about 8 feet in the air while traveling at close to 100 mph?

I would love to see some accelerometer data from a boat running 100+ in 5'ers.
I'm sure it would be impressive.

I'm Curious.
Has anyone ever done any CFD on any of these hulls?
It's something I play around with in my spare time. Interesting results...

I'm going to school right now for Naval Architecture, and I only hope to know half of what these guys know about design and rigging when I graduate.
