"X Dimension" Questions

[RICPAZ]

What exactly is the "X dimension"? How do you measure it? How does it affect the boat's performace. I've read many articles and postings on various boats where they mention the x dimension and how it affects the boat's performance & handling but I'm still a little unclear as to what exactly it is.

Thanks!

Rich, The X dimension is the measurement from the bottom of the hull, at the transom, to the centerline of the crankshaft. See X Dimension Primer (http://www.donzi.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=005834#000000). Use the search function for more references. :)
