I hope this link will work. These images were taken from the Dreamer, another F32 in Whittier.

the larger props and increased torque from my own diesel repower resulted in my 10 meter International planning at an improved running angle with more of the boat out of the water while on plane.

Less wetted surface at, say 20 kts equates to a better ride and zero spray

She also "feels" far more responsive, like a sports car.

Looking at your amazing photos reminded me of this additional benefit, and I was wondering if you experienced the same with your hull design?

Her run angle is very 'adjustable' with the trim tabs, to compensate for varying sea states and speeds. One difference is she'll pop up on step with the tabs fully retracted vs. have to use the tabs to help get on step. Up around 24 knots I do like to lower the bow for visibility and luckily that angle has no adverse effect on economy.

Wow. Great looking boat and amazing scenery. Is it wrong to use someone elses boat for a screen saver. This is boat porn. :lol:
