Plus, the QM2 does not exactly plug along! What is the max speed for a following sea? I kinda doubt a following wave would catch the QM2 .......
Thanks guys. A wide flat bottom stern to accommodate the aziuthal pods make sense. I'm not so sure about the spoon shape protuberance! Now I'm...
So what is the reasoning for a mixed design, like the QM2? http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd80/Rum_Pirate/QM2SternSt.jpg Kelly Cook

For wakeboarding a big motor is not a bad fit. I would agree that a V8 is overkill for any 18 footer. But my 19' Chris-Craft had a V8, and it...
Monterey started life as a poor man's imitation of a Chaparral. But that was over a decade ago, they have improved a great deal over the years....
In bowriders this small when talking about hull performance we are really splitting hairs! The differences are much, much smaller than found in...

Heh! I don't know how much of the post by BWD was tongue-in-cheek, but his "no long open stretches" is a very valid point. These hyper speed...
The Fountain gets my vote. But I wouldn't rule out Eliminator, Formula, Hallett, or Lavey Craft either. They debate this sort of thing for weeks...
