My personal vented system is a little different than Modifying an existing boat.

The Pantera Group has good running 41 Stepped Vee

One of our local Builders Pat at AT builds a 37 with his as AVH bottom or as a straight Vee. Look at the photos of it running very nicely done a single step DDC Schoell Bottom.

Fabio Buzzi's Boats run very well with his Bottom in mountainous seas.

The Speed record is held by a step Vee and Boats from Fountain run very well.

I may have missed it, but what boats today are utilizing your personal vented system mentioned above? Are you able to share your concept in comparison to others being used today from other builders? Again, fantastic thread. Thank you.

That system was on the T-4 and was prototyped a long time ago with good results it was originally intended as a extension of my Flats boat line up into the 21-22' Bay boat area and was coupled with a method to get the outboard prop shaft up and still have water on a standard gear case without remote pickups.

There was a simple way to get the bottom running on a "Air" Film without any radical geometry changes which was the approach I chose which made a lot of things easy from handling to trailer bunk considerations.

Someone probably had the same Idea long before I did.

You're probably right, if you read the History Of Powerboating, I am sure you will see something very similar in there as the stepped bottom design has been around for many years.
