A lot of us design our own Boats. (Hate Splashers ) The last thing I would do is add friction as we work hard at eliminating it, excuse me but I have problems justifying a third element hanging down in contact with the water..

I was wondering what happened to this thread!! Glad it is back.
:iagree: I agree 100% with Steve about ( Splashers ) they always seem to let someone else do all the work and try to reep the reward . I have to say that when i was at Skater even after the mold was built there would still be a lot of tweeking involved and to let a splasher get all that for free .:(:mad::puke:
They mostly make "lake boats" out there for sure, but there's more than little hot rods. Trident, DCB, Eliminator all make some bigger boats, but I'd still consider them more lake oriented.
What I don't fully get though, is if there is more drag with these center pod type designs, why would they be so fast. The speeds the RPM 26 and Trident hit with a single is pretty incredible.
Further, properly designed, a "tri-hull" would cut drag, as you get less boat in the water, and more on top of it wouldn't it?. The same way a cat is better than a V? There's more to it than just packing air I think.
