Gotcha and THANKS. I knew the image i posted was round side-to-side but I hadn't yet seen the boxes. Much more applicable. F is what I had in mind. I can't tell much difference in G and H. I think H has a peaked upper side but is the result better or worse than G? I wish Ba and E had the square like the others for comparison.
So a 10% extension, assuming a perfect execution, etc, can return a 10% reduction in drag?! Seriously? Had no idea it was that good. So a perfectly crafted, perfectly long boat tail can almost entirely eliminate drag (except that which is created by friction, a poorly designed nose, etc)?
