Guys I,m in the process of designing a pad for one of my boats. It would be great help if anyone who has any pics of theirs (or whoevers) could post them for me. I'll keep you posted as the project progresses. Thanks in advance! Gary :)

Nope. I have a rather small hull (14 ft) that I made a wood mockup this last wknd. Took pics but left them up at camp where the hull is (300 miles north It sucks to get old !) I just want to be sure I'm going in the rite direction. I have to mod everything I own. GaryQuote:

so a boat becomes a plane and is completely dry above 78mph? :D
11'? Research "Prop Rider" Gunsmoke :rolleyes:
Greg G Thanks so much for the graph! The boat is only 53" wide at 180lbs . It did about 38 mph with my modified 25 hp with stock cupped 13" pitch prop. The wood mockup pad I made (for patterns) is 5.5" wide and about 5' long. The bottom is a weird tri-hull with the center sponson already 4" lower than the much smaller outer ones. I dropped the pad over the center another 1". I was also thinking of shorting the outer sponsons maybe the 5' to the start of the pad. Just having some fun at my workshop on rainy days at camp. I'm open for any ideas. This forum is a world of info! Thanks again guys. Gary
