I've done a search on the forum and have read the past posts about removing the hook from V hulls. I've read Squirtcha's webpage on how he did his hull (thanks Squirtcha for taking the time to document that). My question is what things do you have to do differently to a tunnel hull boat than a v hull to get the most out of the bottom, in particular the SWTD?

There are two guys that know the bottom tricks, on these boats, one is BP, the other is Mr. Bennet.

Im not good at keeping secrets, Im a blabber mouth too !! Not really much to do on the bottom unless you want to add a big bubble on the keel. I have no Idea on the bubble, but Ive seen some nice work that MR. Bennett has done.

Jay, this boat is said to be a Bennet mod'ed boat. Look at the sponsons. I too would like to see the spoon or bubble on your center pod.
