Extra hp won’t cause bad behavior at normal (stock equivalent) speeds like a hull modification might. I am not afraid of modifying a hull but it’s not something to be taken lightly. It would probably help to understand the purpose of certain hull features before adding, eliminating or changing them. |

In that case I'd use the Kanye West system to tart it up a bit |

I got to think that messing with the hull is not nearly hazardous as increasing the factory hp by 50%-75%.

I think M/W should combine features of an 82 2001 and a Dunphy.
He could call it a Dunph Nautique or maybe a Ski Dunphtique. |

The only problem is finding authentic contaminated mahogany plywood. That is if you want to keep it original

The patent "BalanStern" & "Stepless-hydro hull" was in the early 60's. when Dunphy used it to made the X55's.

Someone jump on that patent if it is timed out. Lots of money to be made there.

And Brian, don't even think about messing with the X55 bottom especially the steps. If you don't know already, there' was a patent on the hull

Coming from someone that has been There and done that I would leave it alone and find something more productive to do. Again working in the Engineering Dept and now a corporate field tech at Nautique boat's/Correct Craft now for over 25 years seeing post's like this scare me.
The Inboard boat is a fine balance of executed Genius. The problem when modifying the bottom of an inboard is you have no clue of what you are doing and results could be catastrophic! We don't like to use words like chine lock, rudder stall and misbehaving. If you are looking to make a bigger wake for wake-boarding use water bags or other known weight bags. If you are looking to make a better surf wake there are many after market devices that enhance the surf wake. If you are looking for a better slalom boat then get a modern slalom boat. Hopefully this sinks in and you and your family and fellow boaters do not get put in a compromising position due to Blind experimentation. |

Sounds like something I would do!
However, I usually end up with a dog that won't hunt, after pouring considerable money & time into it. I'd just glue on some wood strips (5200 works good) & try it before doing massive fiberglass work. |

The thread title may be appropriate, lol.
I would recommend studying older and newer SN hulls relative to the one you’re considering modifying. Also familiarize yourself with how the different generation hulls handle and ski. You might find that the modifications you’re considering would be a step backwards in terms of hull evolution rather than a step forwards. |

Have a chance to screw around with (or screw up) an '82 SN hull.
Chatting over beers discussing hull shape and resultant wake shape. Question: what part of the hull is most responsible for the wake shape? Forgiving the bow and perhaps the 1st 3rd of the hull, is the middle impactful or just the rear-most portion? Thinking of 'filling in' the rear side scallops, and removing the keel 'v' from prop shaft back. Wondering how this will affect the wakes..... |
