I think I have declared the hull finished three times before this. But as I was milling lumber for the trim and rubrails, I kept running my hand over the boat and could still feel bumps. Then I opened the overhead door to natural sunlight and could see shadows. So one more time I got out the grinder and some super-sandpaper used for auto body work and chewed into the hull. The same old problems at the root of the bumps emerged:. Given the amount of structure and tabbing beneath them, there is no way they will ever let loose, so I sanded the one down that was still high, got rid of most of the filler and that was it.

I have had several discussions with many people about what are the best years of the and what is the variation between hull designs from the late 60's thru late 70's. Many people have told me that there was a big change in the hull after 76 and that if you didn't want a flatback but still want to run somehat shallow that you needed a hull. I have had the opportunity to look at serveral different years before and after 76 and to the naked eye I can not see any variation. I have tried to see the specs but they are hard to find. RickK Information Administrator Posts: Here is a good source of info on the differences in the models.

During my trial hulltruth the Z I can say that I did not experience this hesitation. Current view from the loft, hulltruth. Congrats on buying an amazing boat!

But what they really mean could be a telltale sign of which used boat to buy, or not to buy. Oooh, the clean sweeps and crisp lines of those boats. Such style! But hull design is not just a matter of style. Well, they do it because a deep-V hull is seaworthy but slow, and a flat-bottom is fast but flakey. Finding a blend of seaworthiness and speed has become a tantalizing challenge for some builders. It features a pair of small, 2-inch tall steps with large vents at the chines.

The Hull Truth is a free interactive forum. It is the first largest boating, sailing, fishing, all things marine life forum on the web. The forum cuts across everything there is to know about life on the sea, including buying and selling boats, fishing, marine electronics, and a host of other related topics. The hull truth website began on the 21st of February as a substitute to Saltwater Sportsman magazine internet forums. The need for a substitute forum emerged when most forums on Saltwater Sportsman were getting withheld as the advertisers in the magazine did not like the effects of an open forum as they discussed issues affecting their boats or products. Although the website has been sold to Internet Brands Inc.

Thanks guys for all the info! My sentiment exactly; the boat was a good 10 years older, but the sturdiness was apparent from the second we stepped onboard. It really helped to have first hand knowledge and experience from all of you. I am not an expert on the later model s - all my studies were focused on FBs. My Sites Memsahibs Voyage. And, of course, there's plenty of good folks on other forums as well, but there are a few that make the experience unenjoyable, which I feel cannot be said for this forum. Grady White Craziness on the Hull Truth My background and work experience is electrical engineering with a communications specialization. The boat has a diesel generator that powers a chill plate controlled fish box in the rear capable of chilling below freezing which is especially nice because Bud Lights can be chilled to 22 degrees without freezing for the way out and for the way in keep the fish nice and cool. Lots of strong opinions and rudeness - amazing how people behave behind the hidden security of their keyboard. Please don't take this as anti YF, I love those boats, but the double standard is ridiculous. For our part, our Tournament supported 4 adults and 5 kids for three days of incredible fun over the memorial day weekend, and i KNOW its the right boat for us. I was impressed with the ride in the followiung sea but most boats are good in a following sea. The purpose is to keep the boat from banking in turns. The Hull Truth

It's no secret why these boats are so good. To get those attributes, plus quick time to plane, Ebbtide builds its Z-Trak hull with unique double-vented chines that send air under the running surface, reducing speed-robbing drag at two points and producing the distinctive Z-shape seen from the side as the boat whizzes past.
