I'm new to the forum and have some general questions regarding hull design evolution. i built a glen-l tiny titan in the early 70's and joined the local club in sioux falls. short history of the evolution of the picklefork hydroplane: as boats got faster in the 50's the problem changed from getting lift and getting the boat out of the water. A lightweight ventnor hydroplane won the 1939 gold cup, and racing has never been the same since. “basically, these boats are just airplanes brought down to the water,” o’connor said of today’s three-point hydroplane design. he said there is more aerodynamics to the design than hydrodynamics..

hydroplane boat hull design 1937 ventnor 18-foot hydroplane. 1937 ventnor 18' racing runabout 'jeez-o-peets' named jeez-o-peets, this is one of the first three-point hydroplanes, whose hull design radically improved performance by restricting the water contact points to just two front sponsons—and the propeller! powered by a twin-carb flathead mercury with aluminum. This design proved to be too prone to the bow end lifting the boat into a spectacular back-flip. some of this might have been due to aerodynamic lift if the boat's angle of attack changed, but the main reason had to do with air pushing on the underside of the hull, a force that becomes ever-stronger as the angle deviated from the horizontal..
