Hooked bottom sponsons

How do you guys feel about hooked bottom vs a true blueprinted bottom? Both with sharp corners btw...

Flat and sharp...but hey what do I know. Try that hooked bottom boat and see for yourself.

I believe staight and flat are the best for tunnel, had a hooked bottom and the boat would never turn the same every time especailly in rough water, Gary Crawford blue printed the bottom of my Leecarft and it won 9 races that season, gained speed and handled like it was on rails.

I have with my mod vp design. I am just trying to get more opinions.

Flat.. dead flat, or Rocker.. Never hook on a tunnel hull.

I see you have a mod VP but man its got to be the same. Hook forcing the front down with noting but air in the center to support it.

It would be best to make em dead flat and parallel to each other. At least then if you want to experiment you can ad tape tabs or tiny wedges to the sponson for testing hook and no harm done.

Can you tell us what you are trying to accomplish? From what you are asking it sounds like the front will not set going in the corner? Or the boat is laying over hard in the corners?
