Blue printing hull

[Stratosguy0725]

Anyone know who does this. Preferably in the southern states

[crank68]

If you can’t find someone local I prolly can put you on someone here in N.C. What type of boat may I ask.?

[Stratosguy0725]

Stratos. If they are worth wild I'd be intrested.

can you blueprint an aluminum hull?

[cajunrgfm]

Sure you can blueprint a tin hull,but you will only get out of it ,what it is capable of. You can blueprint a stratos,but you wont get Allison performance out of it.

[MMosher]

IMO not worth the dime. Hot rod the engine instead.

Toledo fiberglass

I used Toledo fiberglass and I am very satisfied with the results!

What is this exactly and what can one expect for results?

Guessing its all about speed?

It entails flipping the boat over and making the strakes and edges and corners of the pad straight and square and sharp, on a radiused corner the water flows up and around the corner and causes drag, on a sharp square corner it shears off and causes less drag. On a fishing boat the first time you drag the hull across a stump or rocks you undo a lot of the work. And yes it's all about speed.

Never knew this is what it entailed. So, how much more speed would you possibly get, and what is the cost of having something like this done? It amazes me how much $$ some are willing to spend to go 1-2 mph faster.

I’ll add that my readings on this topic have shown it really only benefits boats already moving 80-90+ like Allison’s and bullets. And their gains are usually only 2-4 MPH in those ranges. It’s not something worth doing to any heavy hull as you won’t see any significant increase if at all but will pay out a good amount of money to have it done.

This is dead on ^^^
