Totally makes sense on tabs and drag vs. redirected thrust and no drag change. Great point. I was scouting around for more on this topic and came across this hull design overview with Grady White which is really a reflection of Ray Hunt's design so I thought it was a good summary as Ray Hunt seems t...

Nice - thanks for jumping in on the discussion guys. Kevin that Jahrig Aluminum Boat Build looks pretty awesome. So I'm going to try to boil this down a bit but again focusing on the hull vs. other variables like drivers position or suspension seat which I do have not but I get the point that not al...

Great points. Makes me think of how bigger pilot house boats with v-berths are going to have the driver further back in the boat which would mitigate the pounding a little vs. my Alumaweld where I'm sitting right up front. Also, makes me think landing craft and center consoles have a big edge on dri...

The helm is white paint on the inside around the windshield, steering wheel, passenger side dash sto...

Chaps too bad you aren't ready for prime time. I'm your potential ideal customer. I have a 22' Alumaweld Intruder from 2005. My paint i...
