I'll only go half throttle. :>)
Sounds like a half fast compromise to me. :-)
On the other hand, experiments and demonstrations that promise to
violate the laws of physics often are interesting. Tom has proposed one.
Apples and Oranges.. Each job has it's own tool. Years ago I had a CJ7
and worked at a body shop. The frame guy had a VW (smerk) Rabbit that
was set up for, uh, speed. He used to tell me he could take me in the
quarter, I told him to hook up bumper to bumper and I would drag him
to the local scrap yard;)
Indeed, but the "riding through the slop" experiment Tom has proposed would end up violating the laws of physics for his boat to win. It just doesn't make any sense.
What you seem to fail to understand is this - my boat doesn't tip -
ever. Put three guys on the starboard rail and it still stays flat.

It will roll - I'm not claiming that it won't roll, but water over the
gunwale? No way. Been there, done that - have the proof. It's
because of the slight deadrise and the step hull. As to "pounding" -
yeah - a little depending on how you approach a wave at speed, but
with the trim angle adjusted properly, the entry and exit is very
smooth.

Yours, on the other hand, being a fairly standard CC with the same
beam as my Ranger and a 21 degree deadrise can't perform the same
trick because of the hull configuration and if anything will probably
"pound" as much as the Ranger given the same sea state. And it will
tip broadside to the water further than my boat will.

Mine bobs like a cork - yours, not so much.

Them's the "physics".

So, what do you say - wanna do it? :>)
Carolina Skiffs, the flat bottomed ones and the ones with some vee, don't tip, either, but in monohulled planing boats, the flatter the vee, the harder and usually the wetter the ride. There's just no way a flat bottomed planing hull in the sizes we're discussing won't pound in hard chop.

Hello?

I'm willing - am you? :>)


Sure...a head sea challenge with a side wind? Sounds like fun to me. I'll loan you my yellow slicker and hand bailer.
