"are these a closely guarded secret?"
Nope ..... It's just that every hull requires its own basic design and every boat requires its' own variation ... Depends on hull type, Hp, kind of pump, its' setback, etc., etc., etc. ...
Just a couple of general comments ... The heavier the boat, the less depth of keel/bubble needed ... No boat should have a dropped keel/bubble deeper than about 1.25 inches .....
