Variation. in Boat Hulls Offered

Ten to 16 years ago, boat buyers were offered just one basic type of hull on which they: could place that newly-bought outboard motor, This was the so-called conventional hull, small V fore and a flat or nearly flat bottom section aft,

Today the boat buyer is offered a variation of ull forms’ that would. boggle the normal boater's mind, These Yariations are all based on three distinct hull’ types, the conventional hull, Deep-V. hull ‘and. the tri-hull, All are ideally suited to oulboard power,

| Within the past five years the Deep-V. hull’ has captured the imagination of the boating ‘world, It’ has a tremendous ability to run smoothly in rough water. This ability has made it a consistent winner of offshore powerboat races.

But it has,its defects too. For one thing, the Deep-V hull requires proper trim to. per- , form/at its best, It cannot be badly loaded and still perform properly. The larger the boat, the’ more: critical ‘this factor becomes.

Weight is another factor. Deep-V's must have sufficient weight to keep them: from. ‘pounding in’ rough. water. “A lightweight,” podrly-trimmed Deep-V can pound as much asa conventional hull.

Keeping Fit Makes Hiking Populor Sport “TYou-don't have to be a superman/woman to < stay healthy ‘and fit, just take up hiking. In: Europe, youth has: done it for hundreds of-years,
