Back in the early 90's these lines had to be pretty out there from the norm. Has that F117 stealth fighter radar deflecting angles thing going. I...
Mostly river cruising and poker runs, with possibly a few days offshore. The cabin area was never finished, so blank canvas in there. I also plan...

Hi all, I saved this 1992 Team Warlock 38 Ocean Express Cat from a likely date with the fiberglass shredder last year. After a little reading, it...
Thanks for that conformation. Biggest problem with the HP boat industry right now is that like most, production units follow what's learned from...
Can't disagree that there was a degree of structural failure relating to the canopy. Stronger / reinforced steel cage structure "may" have...

Thinking that's something these large tunnel boats could benefit from, a small canard providing zero lift acting only as a control surface?...
All the boat videos I've offered up as examples of blow overs were running a pair of engines that cost well over $250,000 US. Brand new Mercury...
Thanks for the link, I've started reading hers and some others work on this. When searching, "vortex generators" returns the most relevant images...
Hi Leo, I 'd love to see how good tunnel designs react when hydro blasted from a prop"S" wash near peak lifting specs. Shouldn't be real hard to...
Vortex Generators Great thinking Petros, apologies for missing this in your first post on page 10. But google didn't. lol Vortex Generators...
Flawed or better yet out dated. Bound by rules stating they must look and measure within specs of a production car. Jack Roush invented roof flaps...
Thanks Jim, nice read. I'm guessing the math scales up comparable to size? R.R; sweet analyst illustrations. Is that raised canard concept a...
Two fold. First as the owner of an offshore style catamaran. I've found purchasing insurance for these boats is like being diagnosed with a...
That's proven to be a primary cause of many high speed blow overs, in several tunnel classes. I'd like to read all of Jimboat's latest article on...
I read your previous explanations closely, a couple times actually, and still chose ? B. You understand a little about a canard and think this...
That concept is well proven for boat roll control, it never actually went away. Was slightly modified, incorporated into a cutting edge hull...
