hull boat redesigns (hull pad project)

[riveramunizaga]

Hello, my name is Cristian,i would like to know somebody hellp me.

I have a powerboa 16´ vee fiverglass 22º 140hp looper, and i like to put in it a pad but i don´t know the dimensions (size), and how it comport in the boat, i have very much time driving boat, but never with pad, and i need the pad for more speed and and leas hp, and woul like to know about the size of a box of water (name ???) that the people do for blow off motor in final of transon and bow and used to raise the motor until 5".

what is the difference between pad wide and one thin one, as it affects hull, how?

this is the original boat

this is de rebuid project with a pad and new height, and a box of water.

plese if sombody can to teel me the name, fantastic.

[riveramunizaga]

i get 2 pad types, the fist is: the wide of the pad is straight 12" and 5 feet of length, and the second is 12" but just 8" are straight and 5 feet of length

i do a box of water with 5.5" of height and 8" of deep.

i raised the hut like 3" in both cases.

Honestly, I'm not sure about the pads. What do you mean by "pad"?

[riveramunizaga]

a flat bit in the end of bow.

Rivera- What kind of running attitude does the hull take right now? How much of the boat is in the water at the speeds you run at? Does the bow tend to ride high, or point down? If the bow is fairly low when planing, does the stern tend to swing out a lot in sharp turns at speed? Or does the stern tend to ride low, dragging a lot?

If you're already running bow-down, go with either no pad or the smallest you can possibly fit. If the bow's rising a lot, the extra lift from the pad might help smooth things out and so a bigger pad would help. You need to figure out how much of the boat is in the water when running as the pad cannot extend forward of the entry point.

I believe that pads will decrease the speed required to plane.
