I'm trying to blueprint the hull on my '78 233 formula. I have found it has rocker, how much flat hull should it have ahead of the transom to run safe, with a max speed of 65-70mph.
Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

Thanks' I can get 8'6" with fairing. I was afraid I would need more than that. Thanks again!

i would not use a piece of wood as a straight edge... go to a aluminum shop and get you a piece of 3" flat plate...

Actually a I picked up a piece on the weekend, thanks for the observation!

You can also get a 4' aluminum straight edge from Sears for approx $7 bucks. If you need 8' you could attached two of them at the ends. It would be just short of 8' and make sure you align them properly before securing.

Now you tell me I would'a never thought of Sears!
