I would think they use CFD software for the Aero stuff. Windtunnels this size are hard to come by and very expensive. 1/10 scale models in small tunnel's can and have been used on boats.
They (Outerlimits) have a designer with an aircraft background so his best practice's will most likely not include any high wind drag design's. In playing with our redneck windtunnel (boat beached at desired running angle big block airboat making 95 MPH wind) we have some basic data. We have also been lucky enough to have a really good friend who is good with CFD! Many thanks to the windtalker for his help with our SVL!

that is a lot of overhang. I see what your saying, but the cats all run fast because they pack air up front which lifts the boat up for less drag.

I'm curious about the deadrise of this boat as well.To me it looks like between 20-22*at the transom.
Does the boat have a constant deadrise or variable [warped] ?Specs seem to be top secret on these,lol.
