    Hi, I am looking for the hull lines for a square nose speedboat.

    I recall in the past that there were several speedboat designs built in fibreglass that had square nose config and I want to get similar lines for a project we are working on that needs front loading capability not possible with the normal tapered bow.

    Any help much appreciated

    Copy a WWII landing craft that had the entire bow plate drop flat. Any of the Higgins boat company are very good safe designs. If you want a V hull for speed but then want a rectangular deck on top of that , go to www.fiberglassics.com They have almost every old style on the site. Root around on it. It can load slowly.

    You might look at the GP16 (?). Google it, it's the top response.
