Thanks to Scott I am getting to see my boat as it is built. He was kind enough to swing by the factory today and snap these pics. I am pumped!!!!!!

Scott is a first class guy.

I know it's a newbie question, but what are the hull steps for? What exactly do they do?

texrford · 05-24-2007, 11:28 AM

Steps - The sections in the bottom of the hull in the rear half of the hull where the wetted suface moves inward. They reduce the wetted surface and create some turbulence that reduce hull drag, increasing speed and fuel efficiency.

Yellowfin = my kinda wave buster.

Brett1 · 05-24-2007, 11:36 AM

The up side is that they "release" the hull from the stiction of the water..... The downside is that turning is a riskier proposition at speed, but who is turning a CC at speed other than collision avoidance?? Hull is much more efficient.

That was my guess but I wanted to make sure. Why don't more of the smaller boats do the same thing? Stability? Looks like they could benefit from it also?

Got Salt? · 05-24-2007, 03:33 PM

stability. the more boat out of the water, the less stable. not really for the faint of heart, or limited of experience. its best left to the big toys.

build pics are always my fav. its truely a 'side' of boating we all dont get to see that often. and build pics of your own boat are sort of like seeing a sonogram for the first time!

What's going on back?

SALTY DOG II · 05-24-2007, 04:01 PM

Scott....any pics of the 42's being built?? Should be a light blue one and a dark blue one. I'd love to see em if you took any.

Thanks,

Brad

Brad,

I screwed all my pics up. However, Rob is having them take some of mine in rigging now. You might want to bug him to get some shots of yours while they are at it.

Your hull did look great when I was there. Just needs rigging now.

Brett1 · 05-24-2007, 04:24 PM

Rob who??? Give me his e-mail and I will ask. Send me whatever pics you have also!!!

Brett

SALTY DOG II · 05-24-2007, 05:17 PM

Nice Seth....thx buddy. I can't even imagine what this thing is going to look like all rigged.....scary!

scott · 05-24-2007, 05:45 PM

Brett, I will send you some pics of the liner installed today.

Salty dog, pm me your name and I will see what I can do on your 42.I know I have seen at least one ice blue hull . The dark blue one is in assembly. By the way hull number one will be in the water next week. They are installing the genset and electronics now.

Anthem, thanks
