It seems that deadrise has a radical effect on the ability of a boat
to get on plane quickly and thus use less fuel. More deadrise makes a
boat punch through waves better but increases draft and reduces fuel
economy in smaller seas. I assume that variable deadrise has been
tried.
Hehehehe. You *are* quite the poster.


Hey it's a boating post.
All good ideas are proceeded by lots of bad ones.
WD-40 followed 39 failed attempts.

Not bad when you consider it took Edward G. Robinson 606 tries before
he arrived at the "magic bullet" cure for syphilis.
Killed a lot of people doing it too.
Just like WD-40 is still killing bearings.
