I would like to include a survey in the report I am writing about PWC hull design. Please help me out and respond to this, besides, it might be interesting to see what everyone says. Remember, all of this is theoretical. The report is on hull design for CLOSED COURSE racing in the R/A 1200 class, so please think within those lines.
1) What type of hull design would you prefer? a. Surfacing (hydrofoils) b. Flat Bottom c. V-Bottom d. Cathedral (tri-hull) e. Tunnel Hull f. 3 point hydroplane
2) What is the most important charactaristic of a hull design? a. Handling b. Stability c. Speed
3) What construction material would you prefer? a. Fiberglass b. SMC c. Carbon composite d. Aluminum
4) What length and width would you prefer?
5) What features would you like to see included? a. Spray chines b. Stepped hull c. Air induction (kawi zxi style) d. Other
6) What riding style do you prefer? a. Inside Lean b. Neutral c. Outside Lean
7) What model of PWC do you ride now?
Thanks for responding, I will post the results and probably the final paper in a few weeks after I get it all done. One last thing, please dont turn this into a brand / flame war.
