I've heard that type of hull called a "cathedral" hull. I have no idea how well they work.

Looks like you get a deep V at slower speeds and then trap air at higher speeds

Kind of a variation of a mod vp.

Interesting. Do you have a bow shot too?

'Cathedral hull ' ? ? Does that even barely resemble the stern of, say, a 13' Boston Whaler ?

And there's many cathedral hulls that at the stern could pass for a very shallow Deep V .. but that thing is waay out there ... Yes , a bow shot would be useful .

Boat could be a Kachina, (if memory serves me correctly). I remember researching one like that. Hull design seemed slow compared to similiarly powered V's and Cats.

It would have to have enough power to go fast enough to trap air and gain lift. It looks an awful lot like my old Hydrostream Vegas XT but a whole lot bigger! If underpowered it is nothing more than a tri-hull.

It is a 2005 Hallett and has a 525EFI in it currently.

THIS TYPE OF HULL WAS BIG BACK IN THE EARLY 80'S WHEN THE SHADOW CAT HIT THE MARKET. They may have been faster than a Vee hull but never caught on.

Virage Also built one very similar. If I recall they built it around the same time. If you could get the hull to pack enough air it would dangle.

Glastron or ??? made something like that in the mid-late 80's. It was 19 or 20' and would do 60 with just a 150. It was pretty cool looking(Carlson design and hence why I am thinking Glastron) with a 175hp max but interior looked pretty tight. I NEVER saw one outside of the NYC boat show. It looked more like the white boat in Smidgen's post.

Biggie, your avatar is cracking me up. I keep seing it and thinking:

"WHAT DOES MARCELLUS WALLACE'S HULL LOOK LIKE?!"

biggiefl,
You are correct on Art Carlson. The boat is actually called the Hallett 260 AC. Hallett's hulls have a great reputation for being quick. I guess the 525 helps "pack the air" :lightning

Can anyone download a PDF picture? I can't figure out why when I scan an ad, it goes to PDF instead of JPEG which we can download. Let me know as I have the magazine advertisement scanned but PDF. This is Boating September 1983 by the way.
