Hull Shapes----Show us your girl's bottom

[rslifkin]

Old thread, but still relevant. I dug up a few shots of my boat out of the water. Excuse the slime in one picture, that was right after haulout and before powerwashing.

 

[Gabe n Em]

I love this thread. I'll add a couple

 

[Jon H]

28' Crozier, designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates.

A friend's 2014 Horizon 52 Power Cat hauled a few months ago at Viking Boat Works, St Pete FL.

Mine looks normal from the bow - it’s the stern that’s different. No props, keel, or rudders.

Have engineered diagrams to share?

Classea bottom

1988 41 DeFever Design . . . She was a little shy when I told her about the post . . . She’s normally not that type of girl . . .

 

[John R M]

The Coot doesn't mind showing its bare*bottom.

Not sure if it's been asked already, but why would anybody ride in a boat that's being lifted in or out? Have they not seen any of the videos of boats crashing down from failed lifts?

Heck Mark - There's enough fellows standing there to catch Coot if she slipped!

Here you go

 

[Group9]

No flat bottom girl here!

 

[TheAtomicDog]

Salty Seagull checking in. Prior to new bottom paint.

Show us the stern!

 

[woolf]

a slightly more traditional bottom

Show us the stern!

Darn it! I can't find one, although I know I have one somewhere. Here is a sister ship.

Nice. What kind of boat is this? I like the horizontal shafts and the deep keel compared to running gear.

 

[woolf]

It's a Vripack Explorer, their marketing speak labels it a "Research Vessel Yacht"

I want one!!

 

[trawlercap]

Most of my bottom shots are vertical (not cool here) Shaped like a whale underwater. Quietest, no fuss vessel I've ever driven. Ironbark skirt above and below waterline for ice and logs

Here she is ... about as exposed as the hull gets.

Stern pics last but probably should be first. Not much difference in the bows of most all mono-hull trawlers but the stern shape tells all.

The middle picture was taken in Alaska when we lived in Thorne Bay.
The 3/4" boards were to compensate for the slightly rocketed keel. This gave me full contact in three places. Before I noticed this the boat was resting on one spot right in the middle. Eight tons on one spot. Very strong hull to do that w/o damage.

Edit;
Woolf,
What’s that anchor shown in 64?
I love the attach point of the shank.

Your girls bottom is very similar to mine, Eric.View attachment 112623

 

[Slowmo]

Not a great photo, the black bottom paint makes things hard to see, but clearly a moderate deadrise planing hull on the Tollycraft 40'. It is relatively efficient at 8.5kn, about 4gph combined. The entry is relatively deep so I've never had it pound. Lots of flare keeps her pretty dry.

The skeg does help on directional stability, she doesn't walk or broach too badly. I used to run my uncle's 34' Uniflite off the Golden Gate, she was a handful in following seas at displacement speeds, and its too rough to do anything else there.

 

[Nomad Willy]

AusCan,
Yes indeed.
Your Cuddles looks like she may not need ballast.
Remember we have the same engine too. What gear do you have?
Glad you’re post follows mine.

Would you just stop flaunting already?....geez

[bshanafelt]

more thong wear

previously posted some of Isobel in the bare.

here are a few more slightly clearer shots for Eric to comment on

Ah, I don't. The Little Harbor Whisperjet hull was originally designed by C Raymond Hunt, but the Naval Architect was Ted Fontaine. It was built, of course, by Ted Hood. I have a variety of marketing literature but nothing close
to engineering drawings.

 

[Nomad Willy]

bshanafelt,
One very slippery hull. And I’ll bet she responds smartly to rudder commands.
Love the art’sy prop color.

 

[bshanafelt]

Hi Eric,
hope all is well.
the green paint on the running gear is an experiment. It is a hard paint that I am wanting to reduce fouling on the running gear.

Last time I looked, it appears to be working well.

my boat burns 1.4 gal/hr and gives around 7.5knts.

As to rudder response, yup it works well. Good as there are no thrusters

Wow - over 5 mpg. Gotta love that!!
