"K Smith"

From your thread title I think you want the "volume" of the hull below
the water line??? not the area??? Also your question seems to suggest
"while it's in the water"?? you want to work this out without pulling
the boat out??


Sorry, not worded clearly on my part.

I'm looking for the area. Reason is just for curiosity. Reason I want the
area
is to calculate the pressure per square inch. Example: Boat is 4000 lbs,
area
where it touches the water is X. So approximate pounds/square inch is Y.

No, I don't need to do this IN the water. What I was trying to say is that
I only want the area that TOUCHES the water. The remaining area of the
hull would not be "supporting" the boat while in the water.

It's just a winter month curiosity exercise.

Thanks.
