    You're right. It did stray. The question you asked was about the relationship between hull length and drag at low froude number.

    To answer your actual question, no, it probably would not. The hydrodynamically ugly knuckle across the wetted sides and bottom where the bracket joined would create unpredictable wave formations that would increase drag much more than the small increase in LOA would reduce drag due to slight reduction in froude number.

    Hello
    My parents are looking for a boat like the one attached
    I noticed that you may have seen ones like this in the past. Very interested in finding one similar! If you could help with this that would be awesome

    There are two for sale current in the Trailer Trawler Facebook page. One looks either incredibly well kept or recently refurbished. They’re a little pricey to me for what they are, but if it is what you’re after, there they are.
