Regal has a hull design that basically touts a "variable" deadrise, based on

This was an interesting read:

It takes a lawyer to claim that a shape hull shape can violate a
patent.
Every time my head creates a "new invention" I look on the internet
and see a vastly improved version already patented.
Once in a while when I forget to look on the internet, I see one of my
"inventions" already on sale at the store.

I actually make my living by inventing things and as the saying goes,
"Theres thousands of good ideas and most of them are wrong" certainly
applies to what I do.
To enlighten some people, "Faster than light travel" is prohibited
mathematically because it results in violation of causality, ie.,
effects happen before the cause (yes, there may be exceptions). There
is nothing mathematically wrong with a variable hull.
I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on ideas that didn't
work but I don't admit the ideas are dead .........yet. Sometimes,
something actually does work and you lean back and
think..........."DAMN, that is cool", being surprised it works.
It is perfectly normal for people to say "That can't work otherwise it
would've been done". You simply do not listen to such and go find out
why it hasn't been done.
