The BCB hull uses a lot of air for performance and ride. This packs air under the hull and ventilates the hull with increased bow lift and higher speeds. A Vee hull will not do this, nor will a hull with less performance ability. This is because they obviously are running more in the water. whereas a BCB is designed to run on top of waves more so. Again, some other hulls are made to run through waves at a slower speed than a BCB will top them. Tuck the nose and you should be able to retain depth readings up to from 48 to 60 MPH, depending on your trim range, hull, set up, propeller and load. This is also critical to remember when comparing rides, as rides need to be compared at the same speeds. We often find that hull Z, Y or X will run flatter and slower on a particular ride in waves, while the BCB hull will be driven appx. 4 to 8 MPH faster under those same conditions. That increased speed effects the ride as well. If the BCB hull were slowed down to similar speeds, the ride would tremendously outshine most others. Hope this answers your questions!BCB
