Thanks.I design by change. I start out with an idea, and while I'm building, have a better idea. I'm learning a lot from you guys. I originally thought a 15 degree top and sides, and a 30 degree bottom (for ramp clearance) was all I need, along with a rear piece of license plate size.Then I learned that the bottom would cause turbulence and drag, and that I neede to make it 2.8 degrees, and movable. Then, of course, there's "The Holy Profile", but that runs just short of 15 degrees to just over 15 degrees where it would be applied to the boat tail, so a straight 15 degrees would probably be nearly as good, and much easier to build. I'm wondering if you think the lower pan on my latest design is worth the trouble?
