I watched the Spiderman vee do countless laps and I saw how clean that bottom ran. I also believe the steps in the bottom do more then aerate the bottom, I am sure the angle of attack on the steps create lift from the water, which would make sense to me, because the water is 800 times denser then air, why would'nt you work with the water...then against it. Since I am not a vee bottom guy and I like what I call training wheels (cat) , My other concern would be the torque of the prop and countering it. I also think that it would be a neat project boat for illmor. They might not think so.
