    Hull Design

    Been following on FB and the 223 looks really well built.

    To me, it seems in pics like the boat has a really small amount of freeboard - it just looks flatter than other big bass boats. But in the pics, it always has a black hull, and I can’t really see if the boat has any V in the hull, or just more hull below the colored part that would make the boat sit a bit more out of the water. I’m assuming it must, as the reviews for rough water performance are outstanding.

    Any pics out there showing the amount of V in the rear of the boat? I know this isn’t all that determines ride ( example - Charger 596 is nearly flat in the back and has an amazing ride), but I’m curious as to what makes this boat have good rough water performance.

    Does it have much V in it? From that one pic it looks like it does - with a flat running pad.

    The 596 has around 50 degrees at the knife and 15 at the rear but each chime is a different degree also.
    Any hoot that ballistic is sweet looking!
