72x2

I noticed an orange 18 in a trailer post with a pronounced v and I have seen others including my 72 x 18 that is rounded. Where there different bottoms. I realize my boat is the second x18 so I was wondering if there were any changes along the production.
Thanks

you can also see the bottom of that boat in almost any picture from AOTH ;)

the first 235 ish or so were true deep vee 24 degrees deadrise sharp keel full length lifting strakes inner and outter in 68 ish they rounded the keel and shortened the inner strakes to make the boat ride better that was really the last change to the hull they had many decks though

the sharp keeled boats also had a different deck a barrelback, then came the std 18 then the corsican and then the x18
