Curve of area, displacement, c.o.b. ????

Half sections , full sections, doesn't make much difference.The centre of buoyancy would be in the same place.

You can use the Versadock system.

little bit bigger than i want...

just had a thought, im now thinking of a single chined plaining hull (chine under lwl) with a deadrise of say 10 deg at transom (so this will be under the lwl) if the transom is then completly open, or not there if you like, how will this affect the vessel's ability to displace the water as calculated?

[Guillermo]

You can adjust the Versadock to whatever size you need (hence its name!). I know almost nothing on PWC (except I don't like them playing around when in a quiet anchorage!), and I have never towed one, but googling around there seems to be a wealth of information on the matter.

Another idea: buy an old RIB of adequate size, cut out the transom and cut/lower the floor if it has one, drive the PWC onto it and then tow the whole lot.

thats basically most likely at this stage what im designing, a transomless plaining hull.
