Welcome to the site, silverhawk was a seacraft, close enough [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

seacraft variable deadrise hull, softer ride due to its vee- like shape; min. of water deflection, air pockets created by steps and the natural stiffness that the steps provide. most experts regard the seacraft hull design as one of the softest riding boats in rough water on the market. It's notable softer riding than many boats with deeper vees.the low deadrise[flatter] outer panels of the seacraft vdh hull design and the reduction of the vee shaped displacement created by the steps into the vee shape of the hull give it far more lateral roll resistance than comparable pure vee hulls. BOY that was a mouth full. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ................steve
