Cool Old Rods , we own one , alot of people don't know that "Suck my Wake" was a Miller Flat (kind of rare too) Tom

Wilt Chaberlain (SP) actually had one built for himself Tom

sanger bubble decks are a sexy hull!! is it a circle or drag or family ski? runner flat or gull?

It's a drag true flat. I'm not sure if it is a gullwing or not. Looks like one but who really knows.

My brother has a super Sanger 17/10 that's a gull and when you look at the hull from underneath the front it has a concave shape pretty much all the way to the plates. It also has a one piece cav plate with a drop chine on each side. And the chines run all the way along the bottom edge to the nose. The concaves are no deaper than an inch. I'll be flipping it over soon to speed coat the bottom and I'll post a pic.

It sounds like you are describing a Runner Bottom type of flatty. The "runner" will vary in depth depending on the builder or what was requested when the boat was ordered. You will see them in 5/8", 3/4"...
