I don't see where this general shape is that much different than the Grand Banks hulls, other than being a little flatter in the stern?
sure...ANY hull can be operated reasonably efficient at displacement speed..but it's pretty hard to water ski there....

I run the shamrock as an assistance tower...people aren't going to wait for me to show up at "displacement speeds"....
