Greg what are the measurements of the Mule pad. What shape, delta or strait front to back, does it have any rocker, and does it end at the transon? Remember that this is a surface drive app so I am wondering if the step at the transom will hinder. I'm looking to make the boat deep and get the resaults of an increased x. On your graph there is no info on wetted surface in the 80mph range? I guess I can awnser that with no hull wet, and six blades splashing.
