Title: Rocker
Post by: propless on May 14, 2008, 11:01:22 PM
 I didnt want to jack the hook thread so I started this one. 

 My project (the 73 Eliminator) has a lot of rocker in the bottom.  Nothing under the boat is flat (curved from bow eye to transome) .  With a 4 ft straight edge from the transome it shows around 1/2" rocker  :o.  It looks like it was built like this, the bottom of the stringers are cut curved . Thay are 5" at the transome, 6" around the front of the motor, back to 5" around the back of the front seats, and about 3 1/2" at the front bulkhead. 

 Does any body have any idea what I should expect from a hull like this ?

Higher speeds (assuming everything else is right) and a twitchier/squirellier feeling hull.

that is super random! considering my 76 bubble decks stringers are the same measurement from the transom up through the dash...wierd...id love to know the purpose of that.
