The hull truth

But what they really mean could be a telltale sign of which used boat to buy, or not to buy. Oooh, the clean sweeps and crisp lines of those boats. Such style! But hull design is not just a matter of style. Well, they do it because a deep-V hull is seaworthy but slow, and a flat-bottom is fast but flakey. Finding a blend of seaworthiness and speed has become a tantalizing challenge for some builders. It features a pair of small, 2-inch tall steps with large vents at the chines. During my trial of the Z I can say that I did not experience this hesitation. I will also say that I have experienced it aboard other boats. These are on the aft hull panel only—that is, the part of the hull aft of the aft-most step. Speed rails keep the boat tracking true, particularly in turns. But I was able to haul the SeaVee Z through some high-speed, hardover turns with as much confidence as I would when commanding a conventional V-hulled boat. Finally, the Z series hulls feature a flat keel for most of the length of the underbody. This stays wet and allows installation of through-hulls to be successful, something always problematic aboard stepped-hull boats. But more importantly, the flat keel section provides more lift, easing the transition onto plane.

No more toting twenty pound bags of ice to the boat. But what they really mean could be a telltale sign of which used boat to buy, the hull truth, or not to buy. I also took him to see our Grady after I had made the initial deposit.

The hull truth

The Hull Truth is a free interactive forum. It is the first largest boating, sailing, fishing, all things marine life forum on the web. The forum cuts across everything there is to know about life on the sea, including buying and selling boats, fishing, marine electronics, and a host of other related topics. The hull truth website began on the 21st of February as a substitute to Saltwater Sportsman magazine internet forums. The need for a substitute forum emerged when most forums on Saltwater Sportsman were getting withheld as the advertisers in the magazine did not like the effects of an open forum as they discussed issues affecting their boats or products. Although the website has been sold to Internet Brands Inc. As the Hull Truth has grown to such astronomical levels over the past years, I have come to realize that the forum may not be operating to its full potential with only the resources of me and my wife at the helm. What began as a part-time commitment has grown to over 70 plus hours per week, with no relief in sight. Therefore, after 6 years, I feel what is now best for the forum is the professional assistance from a larger, fully staffed company. With this acquisition, THT should be much better staffed to provide the services a large online community requires, from marketing and accounting to very capable technical and development teams….

The forum discusses everything there is to know about life at sea, including buying and selling boats, marine electronics for fishing, and many other related topics. I was impressed with the ride in the followiung sea but most boats are good in a following sea. A pad is a flattened section of hull, on the keel near the transom. Prev 1 2 3 Next. I just went out on my first Contender yesterday, a brand new 35 foot with twin Yamaha 's. Chine — Where the side of the boat transitions to the bottom of the boat, creating a corner. Please don't take this as anti YF, I love those boats, but the double standard is ridiculous. Search Everywhere Threads This forum This thread.

Stingray, which introduced its CAD-designed and patented hull in , knows plenty about the pluses and minuses of the V-bottom boats with lifting strakes. The Grady was the same deal. He liked it, and asked me how much more it cost than the Pro-Line we saw. The boat has a diesel generator that powers a chill plate controlled fish box in the rear capable of chilling below freezing which is especially nice because Bud Lights can be chilled to 22 degrees without freezing for the way out and for the way in keep the fish nice and cool. But more importantly, the flat keel section provides more lift, easing the transition onto plane. The best part was taking my 8 year old son with me to look at boats. Here Was my Final Decision Finally made a decision. We walked away and I asked him for his impression, and he told me the boat reminded him of a rental car we got on vacation. It features a pair of small, 2-inch tall steps with large vents at the chines. New posts. Thanks Again, John.
