Moving from midships aft, Hatteras hulls have a variable deadrise, which transitions the wave cutting entry point to a more flat aft bottom section for increased speed and improved stability. The competitors, unable to compete with Hatteras in ride stability, go all out on speed…eeking out another knot or so by … [Read more...]
