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. |
I have seen some of the smaller Carolina boats built as scaled down versions of their bigger cousins but don't think the flat back on the bottom suits them well at that length. Your design should aid in those areas that better fit the smaller hulls. Not everything can be just scaled down and still work. I love the look of the broken sheer and exaggerated tumblehome but It makes since to keep the space more usable when you have the narrower beam. If you don't mind posting the pics, I would love to see them in a "off topic" thread
