I always wanted to do a smaller 25-28' plank frame Carolina boat with a more of an deeper vee instead of the traditional flat back. Something with the broken sheer line and tumblehome. I don't think the smaller hulls do as well as the bigger hulls with the flat low dead rise in the rear. 24 degress should help the ride on that length hull and hopefully the chines take the roll out. Sounds like a cool build. Post some pics of it as you work on it as well if you don't mind...

Its going to be light compared to a glass hull of the same size.
My first drawings had a carolina style topsides with broken sheer and a little more tumblehome. More tumblehome decreased the cockpit width too much though. Form following function, what make a good traditional carolina hull, turns a "gimmicky" IMHO when you go to a 25 open boat. fine entry, flair, warped bottom ending in nearly flat deadrise is what makes a bigger carolina boat work.
It would be possible to modify this design to a VDH without too much trouble.
I have a ton of pictures, and I am keeping a build thread on other forums, just didnt think it was totally on topic for CSC forum, but I can post some pictures in an off topic thread.
