Sir no I did not imply that!! Everything we do is worked out from bottom pressure gleaned from past projects and calculated tunnel lift.
I am not going to give up too much here but if you look at one of MY boats running you can see there was a lot of Math involved and no guess work would be present.
There can't be a rule of thumb as each boat has it's own set of parameters and is case specific that is why I would never own mold's for my custom boat line.
Exception would be the little 10 Meter diesel police cat.Slippery when wet. PODLESS TUNNEL www.cheetahcat.com ,Repairs, Modifications and Truing Cheap reliable speed.

No in those days it was all by pencil and paper with a radio shack calculator ,the weight of water and air are known and my bottom geometry analyzed using using things like trig functions that were published in the back of every engineering manual,I had nothing else, there are a lot of real cool programs nowadays, there was nothing back Then to give me what I needed.

Here is that area before,The Kuwaiti Guy who had it before we bought the place had a gray boat he was building for a customer,The Iraqis pulled up and said oh this is a military Boat and this factory is now part of Saddams military industrial complex, Then with the Iraqis and their trucks there It became a target I counted 28 large Shell holes in the roof which was no big deal in just the sheet metal but if they hit the bar joist then some damage was done and a wall got blown out.

Shell hole, some corrugated metal slipped over the outside then we foamed the entire roof and the concrete work on repairing the blasted floor inside.

This has got to be the best thread I've ever read.
I know I've thanked you many times in this Steve, but I hope you know that every time I have said Thank you, it is genuine.
I am absolutely loving this!"Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

Another Picture I had this thing like Vacuformed around the Tunnel in a effort to keep the volume and area low as I could, this also had the ballast down low and pushed outboard around the CG. It was funny to see it sitting with the rest of the boats in the waves, unique and very stable looking, The Italians liked the thing as well and wanted to buy one.
