Default Re: Restored Formula

Ha Bill
I appreciate your input regarding weight in boats. It seams that most boat builders today want to brag about how light their boats are and are always looking for light materials or methods to shave off more weight. I am from the old school that says weight is a good thing and properly distributed is a very good thing. I know that the greater the deadrise the less water resistance there is to the boat reentering into the next wave but at rest they will have a terrible rock to the boat because of that same deadrise. I know that most of the boats you mentioned have a straight 22-24 degree deadrise but the SeaCraft has a verable deadrise with longitudinal steps which in my opinion has the best of both worlds in the stern the deadrise is only 20 degrees providing excellent efficiently running and at rest less rock. The deadrise in the bow is even greater that 24 degrees providing the ability to cut through on coming waves in a excellent manner and the longitudinal steps provide a reentry second to non plus aids in cutting down rock at rest and totally eliminates chine walking that can be found in some of the go fast models of today. It seems that the Regulator Boat Co. is the only boat builder that wants to brag about weight now a days. They must have some old school guys still there.
