Re: Hull Blueprinting
Obviously I am looking for the closest that does the good work. I would travel as far as required to get the good work.
I just checked my 25 foot Nodic Rage hull with a five foot rule (too long). It appears that I have a gradual hook of about an 1/8 inch max from the step hull to about one foot from the stern edge where the hull reverses and falls away to about a 1/16 inch at the stern edge. What is the prognosis?

Using the SWAG theory (Simple Wild Ass Guess) I would estimate 2 mph to 4 mph. My father has blue-printed the bottoms of his Magum, Pantera, Cigarette, Donzi (the Phantom bottom did not need and sanding). The Donzi was a mid-60 mph boat and gained 2 mph, I do not remember the how much speed, if any, was gained on the other boats.
