AeroMarine Tunnel Boat program wanted

[Maniac]

Does anyone have a copy of the program that they would lend or sell. I am involved in building a 20' tunnel boat, and the first one is done. Lets just say that it's initial performance was less than spectacular! We need some help!
Please let me know if you have either the program or the book.
Thanks!

Maniac,

The book won't help u much. Buy the program, the man put alot of effort in his software.

Maniac - give me a call to discuss the STBD book and/or the TBDP software, if you like.

The book will take you through all the design influences on perforamnce and stability, including the formulae for calculating the impacts. It is all manual, though, of course.

The software is very easy to use, and it comes with a very complete manual that takes you through each step of using the Tunnel Boat Design Program. The software doesn't make drawings for boat design - that's actually the easy part. The difficult challenge is to design or modify your tunnel boat to optimize performance and to perform with stability. The software helps you complete your own design that will work! The benefit of the software, is that it allows you to see the performance of the boat for your setup, before you go to the trouble of building or modifying the hull.

You can see the design input variables in the TBDP software (http://www.aeromarineresearch.com/tbdp6.html) on my web site.
