Doesn't look like the designer of that hull quite understood the VDH concept! No low deadrise outboard sections to provide low speed lift and dampen roll, and no vertical steps to aireate the water w/o inducing lots of drag! It basically looks just like any run-of-the-mill deep V with very wide strakes. When you add up all that flat surface area, I'd say it's closer to a modified flat-bottom than a VDH! Has lots of deadrise, so it might ride ok, but it's not very "variable", and I would expect that it's not very efficient compared to the SeaCraft design. Would be interesting to see some weight/power/speed/fuel consumption numbers for that hull!
