I know this is going to start an opinion war. But on average what is the fastest hull? also with chines, or without chines?

simply put.. square tends to be a little faster, slides in turns, Round chine drafts more, a little slower and doesnt slide when turning at high speed.... and then there's tapered chines: Single, double, triple, single being most similar to a round,, and triple being similar to square.

^^ triple taper is closer to round. There's 3 bends in the chine.

A single taper is more like a 45 degree vs a 90 degree of a square.

17x48 square chine. If we're talking stock motors.

STV's are pretty fast. They're tunnel hulls though. Allison XR2001's roll too, they are V bottom pad hulls, kinda a stepped chine design.

im talking stock motor 35hp

17-18' 48"-54" bottom, lite as possible. Depending on what and where you hunt, go 1/8" bottom, .100 sides, hat section for ribs. Want to say luceur had a hull made that was all .100 for a GTR25. Thats about as lite as you can go. But if you run any kind od swamp or trees or stumps, you should go 3/16 bottom. Weight has as much to do with the hull design.

This is easy..........whatever boat AKAwhatever is in. Just ask him, he'll tell you.

Whatever you get, you're gonna have chines of some sort, you just have to decide how you want them shaped.

17 48 square

The rake effects top speed also, changes how much surface area you have on the water. You want just enough flat bottom it to get on top like a skim board and not cutting through the water creating drag. The width is a variable in this as well.

But, a longer more gradual rake will plane out and run much better

You should say and, not but... you're adding to what I was saying and have a point.

I think he means like this
And the correct answer to the question is, whatever hull my motor is on

Although this one is a big boat with a short rake and ran the same speeds as y'all's

you building them yourselve? and that rake being so long how does it do in rougher water?

Second mark 37-39, that's that throw a fucker off a cooler shit right there

That hull was like a 100 gauge too.

Its no prob. there are a list of things that will make a hull faster and set right. most importantly is drying the hull for less drag. Not all hulls are the same i.e. 1646 vs 1646.
