    Naval architect side job?

    Looking for a naval architect to do some design work. I thought it was something I could do but I realized I could probably save myself tons of time and and having it right the first time. Project would be to design a planing stepped hull for a tritoon. Looking to break some speed records and I...

    Tritoon step hull design

    Around 3800-4000 lbs loaded I run a fabrication and machine shop so fabricating a new hull is possible. Also familiar with composite construction I have made some auto parts hoods boots etc also have done some surfboards and stand up paddle boards so definitely not out of the question. I...

    Tritoon step hull design

    The 3 logs are 24 feet long and 25'' diameter the center log and transom are mounted 1' aft the outer logs. Not exactly sure how to calculate displacement.

    You guys know way more than I do. So here is my current strake positions from the manufacturer. And proposed flat area in red. If speed is my main goal I would only need to extend them to the forward boundary of the planing surface. My though is to make these from composite material first so I...

    Tritoon step hull design

    The fastest single outboard is currently running a step hull. To my knowledge it is custom non production. At wot the side logs are barely touching the water they act similar to sponsons.

    I considered something similar. Like giving it a pad. But i thought it would increase my wetted area possibly creating more drag. That’s when I figured a ventilated step to a flat pad would not only reduce my wetted area but also add air lubrication.

    I’m not sure where the red line idea came from. Runner planks? Like lift strakes?

    Tritoon step hull design

    Hello, I have been tossing around the idea of adding ventilated steps to my 24' tritoon and have a few questions i haven't been able to answer through personal research. The goal here simply is speed and efficiency. I know its a pontoon but it has a 475hp outboard and i would like to try to set...
