Crazy Idea. Yes, No?

Yes, It has been done. Ron Baker had a forward thinking and cam up with many interesting concepts envolving boat bottoms. If memory serves i think it was a Viking that Ron devised a tube system that aerated the pad. I don`t know the results but maybe somebody on here will. Sam should.

It was an HST, I did the step in mine a long time ago, on long sweeping corners the nose would drop, which was fine, but unless there was some chop it would stick there for a few moments. It solved that and makes cool noises when the boat sits at rest. Put one in the notch in the back too but it resulted in nothing.

He was racing a V-king when I saw him in Fla.

Nope, the original owner was from Rhode Island. He ordered it new from a Challenger dealer in Canada (it was built there). I bought it from him this past summer. Guy owned it for 36 years and had to sell due to health issues :-(

Love those boats. Looks like a museum pc.

I think the injection of micro bubbles under the bow of a ship might have something to do with reducing the drag of the bow wave. It is a fact that if enough air bubbles are introduced under a displacement hull that it will cause it to sink lower in the water. I know that wet sanding with 600 grit on the bottom of an RC boat makes a very noticeable difference in performance.
