Hello,
I have been waiting to get a good start on my 75 smoker craft and looking around for ideas. I don't know why, but I was looking at the hull and transom and realized its not a deep v. I think. At the transom the bottom is not v'd all the way out, it has some kind of downward curve on outsides. This makes two small tunnels that run all the way up to the bow where it rolls out to a semi-v looking bow.
How does this effect the coming rebuild? It won't. I'm just totally knew to boating and I like to know as much as possible about anything I'm wrapped up in.
While reading about hull designs I came across the cathedral hull that was shaped similarly in style. The given examples were on large fiberglass boats, but the tunnels were present nonetheless. There was also another hull design that was close and its strong point was shallow drafts and getting on top of the water fast. I can't remember the name of that hull at the moment, but some of the examples were fast racing boats. Lund is using the IPS design and it looks very similar in the picture I saw of the rear transom.
Not important at all, just wondering.Your probably going to say its a common design on small aluminum boats. I think I'll stop reading about boat design and start striping the boat down. :-#
