What's your WL, Joe? I mean...your motorsailor is even faster than a
Bruce Roberts 65 Pilothouse. We'd all like to know how....


I'm glad you asked.

I dimpled my hull with a ball peen hammer, I did this to make it like
a golf ball (same tech Lexus uses on the underside of cars) causing
micro eddies that make my hull superfast and super slick.

How do you do a steady 10.5 knot when the published hull speed for the
35s5 is 7.2 kts?
