prop in tunnel enables ramp splash
cannot post drawings, site will not allow

prop in tunnel was used by penn yan and really sucked but you could get into shallow water

44 degree dead rise… at the transom?

The prop tunnel isn’t good for lift,
( for a planing hull) neither is a 44*
dead rise, I’m not seeing this getting
to 49 mph.

Take a screen grab or convert your plans to a jpg and then post.

Tunnels behave a bit like a jet system. A shrouded prop at the very least.


A 44° deadrise means your hull has almost a 90° vee. Not great for lift, shallow running, or stability. Maybe it was a typo?

Are you proposing your prop tunnel location where the delta pad would be?

Let's see some pics.
