Re: Regulator to SeaCraft
[quote. . . are the degrees of deadrise the same or different on each step.

A couple of years ago at the Miami Boat Show, Skip, Carla and I met the owner of Sailfish boats at their booth. He knew all about Carl Moesly and appeared to have a lot of respect for the pioneering work he did with the VDH design. He indicated that they had done their own modeling and made some minor tweaks to the original VDH design, but they're using the same basic concept that Moesly developed back in the 60's. So the deadrise angles and step heights may not be exactly the same but they're pretty close, and they ride very well per the reviews I've seen. They're all composite construction and appear to be very well made. The owner said that he personally preferred Okume plywood for transom cores, etc., but he said you can't sell a new boat these days if it has plywood in it! If I were looking for a new boat in the 20 -26' class today, the Sailfish would be my first choice. They have some clever features and look to be more boat for the money than the Grady's and some others.
