I quote Ondarvr : "For a quick test, buy some PVC trim about the correct dimensions at the hardware store, you can easily shape it with wood working tools, and it bends to a custom fit with a little heat. Use two sided tape to attach it temporarily to the hull, don't use the really good 3m tape for a temporary test, it may work for a more permanent test though.

This will be cheap and quick to see what works and where it needs to be located. You can use it like that until you make something more permanent."

I read it today. Very good idea. You have different sea states and speeds.
Could you tell me more about that plate under the superstructure?

Can you define what you mean by - water blasts.



In a following sea there will be times where the wave train will become coincident with the stern.
So, imagine the peak of the wave, sitting on the transom, and the length of the wave would mean the bows would be in the trough of the wave.
Having your new bulbous bows will prevent/help to reduce the propensity to bow dove, owing to more buoyancy up fwd.
However, depending upon the amplitude of the wave,, once the wave train passes the transom the attitude of the boat will still be in a bow down trim, so your props will then become...
