Hey Anthony looking good, can u explain the bow on this hull how come its kind of flat bow face wouldnt this increase water over the bow on a rough day or am i thinking wrong?
Sure mate.
Plumb bows are nothing new. they are a sharp entry and push through water more than rise up and down . so the sudden big displacement that occurs "causing a lot of water to spray up" is kept to a minimum anyway. though we put a slight flare to the top portion of the hull to direct any spray that does come up away.. this flare is both out to the sides and forward .
The benifit is a longer water line hull. better efficiency, stability , interior volume and visbility . We have designed this hull to allow the skipper to drive the boat comfortable from the helm seat without having to worry about much bowrise.
Just some fun imagry of the framework of the Elite 9. Built like a ship!

showing the waterbox, the heavy floor plate for the gyro and battery mounts. the transom where the water tank will be welded in, and some of the 3d hull inserts.
How thick is the plate for the gyro Moose?

This thing is going to be massive.
