I have a Nordic Thor Cat with a few rockers in the hull would like to find someone in the GA area that can help me resolve this and Blueprint the rear 3 feet of the hull. I will drive for someone good out of state.

Just curious have you taken a straight edge to the bottom of the boat ? I have to say that if you have a hook it should be a concern for the pure fact you will scrap some speed and if it is a rocker i would let it be . I also would like to say that when i worked at Skater and did most of the bottoms on the 46 's adding a new pad and blueprinting of hulls on fountains which we built at one time , a rocker was acceptable .

Be careful I have seen boats slow down after the bottom was straightened! There is a lot to consider one being; HOW bad is the hook?

Hi Ginger myself I have seen 6 mph increases and then unhappy faces when the net increase was an expensive zero. I was looking for the same info also but explaining why is all.

Steve to my friends it is Artie and might i say we most likely are two old farts who are in the wrong business and most likely could have made a lot more money doing something else if it wasn't for the love of the sport , boats , ext ext . Take care my friend and nice to meet you . G G /AKA / OFFSHORE GINGER /Artie:seeya:

I have heard this more then once. Land and Sea up in NH took the hook out of a hydrostream that was put in there from the factory and the boat was undrivable after that and ran slower. You really have to do your research on something like this.

I know of a guy in Houston that does excellent work. I can obtain his name/number if you want to go that far.
