Deep V (24 deg.) vs. VDH (21 deg. avg.)

[KenB]

One has an extra 3 in the name. Must be important.

I have seen formulas given away for free, but never a seacraft.

ride in 3 ft chop? fuel burn? wetness in ride? drift?

Even more of a copied hull than an SC, great running deep heavier hull. I'd take an SC personally, much less roll running and drifting. In a head sea the Formula may run a little better if you tried to run the boats the same way, but I am not a fan of a boat that tries to ride through waves and not over them, heck even on larger boats I don't like it.

I resemble that remark!

Although deep V is a great hull in rough water say for racing, I'm sure its drawbacks are what prompted Carl to actually design the VDH to overcome them without giving up the rough water ride, just speculating - but it does. As stated when dealing with older boats the stringers are what makes the old SeaCrafts doable - no stringer issues at least. With 250hp and up the Sceptre is a hell of a boat, very fast but still very fishable, both have good name recognition.
Keep in mind the deep V will require more HP at a cruise speed of say 30, that was another selling point for the VDH

OK Jim, Just to keep these kill joys happy,
