Ok thanks for the info man. I am working on desinging my own 19 footer.
It has an 8 ft beam and I wanted to give it a 20'' transom.
It is also a veriable deadrise hull like the seacraft but the second row of chines (don't have another name for it) are a lil trimmed and it has a whole tumblehome. (180 degrees oval shape above waterline at the rear end of the boat). My plans is to fill it with foam instead of using stringers.
I have never found that older whaler nor makos ride like crap. The newer bw' ride alot better though but they are also aloot more heavier plus I think that they have less style than the older whalers.
