A nice pair
 
well, based on the evolution of subject matter in this here cracker thread I propose a title change -- "a nice pair," perhaps? :cool: and i ain't talkin' Pink Floyd re-issues:D

Old'sCool 09-09-2014 07:38 PM
I think it's awesome!! :)

kmoose 09-09-2014 07:43 PM
Very nice Terry! I like the fact you kept the power on the transom. Looks great!

Looks like a beautiful restoration of a Moesly race boat, but with the addition of lateral vents/steps! Always wondered how that would work on the VDH! What's the story on that boat?!

McGillicuddy 09-10-2014 06:40 PM
Tell us more, Steve; and please more pics! Is this from the F&S small craft project or a more recent adventure?

cdavisdb 09-10-2014 08:57 PM
Very interesting boat!! The general shape of the bow looks a whole lot like my 25, add the slots and that lovely tumblehome and . . oh my.

MORE PICS Please!

Whats the overall deadrise?

This thing is freaking sweet! Like how it has a seacraft / Carolina look to it. How dose it ride feel and boat preform with the added air notches in the side of the hull? Dose the hull have three variable steps or just two like your red race hull has. That hull has to be efficient with the variable dead rise with added air steps in it like a fountain, rybo runners, and many others that have started using this design.

Sorry about that... I probably should start another thread so those out hunting rabbits don't get disappointed.

Thank you! I've always been inspired by Carl's designs, especially the really fast ones. Well, the combination of longitudinal and transverse steps just make so much sense to me so I jumped at the first opportunity to try it. It works awesome!!! It's a long story but in a nut shell it's a prototype for a much bigger vessel. The owner decided to build this 25 to validate the design for a 75' sportfish.

This is not an F&S... The design was developed for a new boat company out of Wanchese NC. Chris Walker of Walker Boatworks did an incredible job building her. There are still a few things that need to be finished, like the custom windshield, but she's mostly complete.

Started with 20 degrees at the transom. This hull doesn't have straight sections like Carl Moesly's original VDR designs...

Thank you! The ride is fantastic as you would expect from a VDR hull. It runs so quite it's eery, all you hear in choppy conditions is the engine, wind and whoosh from the water landing back onto itself way back behind the boat. Oh and soooooo smooooooth with very little vertical acceleration felt. With that Etec 250ho I've seen 71.6 mph with two guys and about 50 gallons of fuel but know there is more speed available with the proper prop and lighter load.
She has two steps per side not like mine, yours and GFS's Moesly race hulls.

FLexpat 09-11-2014 11:49 AM
I think we are seeing another leap in evolution...
I almost wish I hadn't seen it - I love it.

McGillicuddy 09-11-2014 12:09 PM
Awesome. Prototype 25 to validate a 75', nice. I think I want to be related to the customer. Or at least be friends.

Nice tease on that interior gunwale work -- how bout some more eye-candy for our woody, err, our woody fans:cool:

Blackfin26 09-11-2014 12:59 PM
Need a shot of the hull bottom on terra firma

Oh and soooooo smooooooth with very little vertical acceleration felt. Since the transverse steps are being ventilated from the longitudinal steps and the chine there's little to no opportunity to bury the steps in a high speed turn which causes many stepped bottom boats to lose ventilation on the inboard side and swap ends. With that Etec 250ho I've seen 71.6 mph with two guys and about 50 gallons of fuel but know there is more speed available with the proper prop and lighter load.

Just too awesome, it don't get much better than this. That is defiantly a unique designed hull as well as beautiful.

By the way, have you done anything to your old Moesly hull yet? I have finished some testing with mine and started taking it apart.

That is one beauitiful ride !

You have been inside my brain while I was sleeping again I see. I also wondered what could be achieved with 2 steps on a race hull and the newer steps we see.

Sometimes I feel like a scarecrow.

Amazing #s with a single.

Cheers,
GFS

DonV 09-11-2014 07:52 PM
Thank God it's not in Camanboy's hands, we would have to put up with many pictures of scantily clad young ladies!! Rats!! :)

It is a beautiful boat, very nice job!!

Oh yeah Mr. GFS,

"You have been inside my brain while I was sleeping again I see"

Not too sure about being inside that place!! I would not even want to think about what's in there!!!! :eek:

Listen to the elevator operator. He has worked there forever.

Snookerd 09-12-2014 08:35 AM
Sandy – I don't normally say that you and I are always on the same page with our thinking… but I have to admit, The addition of the sidestep hull was always part of my thoughts on a future, modern VDR concept.

McGillicuddy,

What you are seeing on the inside is diagonally planked western red cedar. The hull was built cold molded over a male jig. All the stringers and bulkheads indexed into the jig prior to sheeting. The laminates of cedar are the plug surface which was sealed before the carbon fiber and core-cell laminates were infused. This made for an extremely stiff and lightweight hull.

Thanks,
Steve

Is this close enough to terra firma?

Thank you... No, the race hull is still sitting patiently waiting.

Definitely Sharp...like the wood trim inside...(I wonder why) LOL

I visit while you're sleeping and whisper sweet hull designs in you ear then fly away...

Thank you, I was intrigued by the name of the thread and the quality of Camanboy's custom Whitewater build and ummm photos. So when I saw Terry England's Bertram post I thought I would join him on the hijack. This project has been a long journey and when I have time I'll try to detail the whole process in another thread.

Thanks, ditto... Seems like more people pay attention to the wood more than anything else. I've had people come up to the boat to ask questions about the design and as soon as they see the inside all they can comment on is the wood.

Not that far from me, love to see the 75' in progress once they get rolling on it. This design sure dose answer a lot of "I wander how much more efficient steps would be on this already efficient variable dead rise hull". I'm sure many has thought about it but to see the pudding made and tasted sets those curious minds to rest. Lots of old talent and new showing up here in NC, some of the most beautiful custom boats ever built were born here.

#5 floor please

Great head sea boat, and following and quartering... For it's size anyway.

Beautiful lines Steve! Did you consult with Carl on the lateral steps? I always wanted to ask him what he thought of those! Denny
