This is a tritoon (3 logs) with lifting strakes. It works in displacement mode to around 13-15 mph, then it works in a planing mode. Top speed is around 50 mph, though it will spend most of it's life between 18 - 30 mph. The underside of the deck is skinned, except approx 20% nearest the bow.

It's a brick. I'm just wondering if mounting a slanted ramp (around 30 degrees backward slant) at the front of this brick has an aero advantage over the flat fence that is perpendicular to the deck. IE, does it make it less brick-ish?

I do agree that hydrodynamics are more important. However, I need a ramp and am wondering if how I mount it may have any benefit. I did try to google the effect of lean or angle of attack on a flat surface...I didn't find anything useful.
