Secrets of Tunnel Boat Design Included Free with Tunnel Boat or Vee Boat Design Program Order ▼

Those of us that really like to get into the understanding and details of all aspects of boat performance will probably know Aeromarine Research and their Tunnel Boat Design Program and Vee Boat Design Program. If you want to really gain a full understanding of the dynamics that affect many aspects of your boat's performance, this is the only software of its kind to do so.

The included book, Secrets of Tunnel Boat Design is a great companion to the software. I read this book and found it enjoyable and interesting. While technical in nature, it will not bog the reader down with excessive data sets, but rather it is easy to read and understand and it flows very well. Now that winter is coming, this is a book you may want to check out.

Powerboat Drag Racing With A Focus on Accessibility and Safety ▼

When I began Scream And Fly over 20 years ago, I knew nearly nothing about powerboat drag racing and most especially, outboard-powered drag boats. I thought it was essentially a powerboat version of car drag racing, and there might be little else to distinguish them in terms of the experience of seeing and racing in outboard powerboat drag races. That notion was abruptly put to rest when I attended my first organized drag boat races, which was the Outboard Drag Boat Association World Championship races at Jasper, Tennessee in 2002.

Robalo R302 Center Console / Twin Yamaha 300HP Outboards ▼

One of the most critical aspects of every center console’s performance is at what RPM the vessel gets on plane. It is here that the Sharrow Propeller's performance is remarkable. It can be seen clearly in the charts that the boat is nearly on plane at 2500 RPM and 15.4 mph.

The conventional props tested on the Robalo R302 were stainless steel 15.25” x 19” (38.73 cm x 48.26 cm). The Sharrow props were 15.04” x 19” (38.02 cm x 48.26 cm).
