So how do you make the prop more efficiently push water?
Beats me, but maybe how you feed water to the prop at the front end
could help, which is one reason I find the tunnel hulls interesting,
even aside from what else they do in floating the boat.
Sometimes I wish I was an engineer. Not often though.
One of the things a tunnel hull does is put a hump of water up between
the hulls so you can jack the motor up higher. You also get some lift
on the boat as the article says.,
Yeah, but it doesn't change the "grip" of the prop in the water cause
water doesn't compress, right?
