Hey mmotsenbocker,<br><br>What you propose sounds
interesting. I do have some knowledge of desiging efficient
hulls, but no where near the level of the person that
you describe. I am not quite sure how well ship
design would scale down to a little 17' fishing
boat.<br><br>I just want a stable fishing boat that will run
about 10mph for say 30-50 miles... <br><br>Making a
mold is not all that hard or expensive, but it is
extreamly time consuming and messy ( lots of sanding and
polishing ) Simple shapes with gentel curves tend to make
the most efficient designs.
