http://www.basscat.com/margay.html If you are talking about where the stern turns inward toward the hull on the rear that helps lift the boat coming off plane to prevent backwash, among other things. If youre talking about the “hook” on the sides of the stern, or outer pad they provide lift, stabilize reentry and control in turns, and lift getting on plane. This is with my limited understanding on design and construction, and BCB will correct my explanation as necessary ! But you asked a really good question, and design hydrodynamics are an integral internal understanding among those who develop these designs. And theres no computer that can replace experience in that department.Last edited by dbasketman on July 2nd, 2014, 3:32 am, edited 1 time in total.
