hook hull?

[donwarwick]

When i was reading the Tigé booklet it was saying about the hook hulls that other boats have, and i was wondering what it was; i thought that boats generally had V shape hulls

I asked the same question a few weeks ago....here you go:

Hook in the hull is a downward turn in the rear portion of the hull creating lift.

Rocker would be in upward turn in the hull, sorta like a rocking chair.

Hook would create quicker planing and smaller wakes, increased rocker would result in slower planing and larger wakes. That is why TAPS2 works the way it does.

BTW....welcome to the Tige/Tigeowners family!!

There is a rule though, you need to post some pics of your boat!!

Again welcome.

Welcome Don. These guys got your answer for you spot on.

I'd like to add, that the "hook" in hulls is very slight, and rather difficult to see.

Welcome to the site. Do you have a Tige boat or are you looking at getting one?
