yeah super cool to see all the exact mistakes that everyone makes. It’s a tricky design to get working.
I thought it was a pity that he didn’t start with a tow boogie and iterate on something that works, as he didn’t really add anything to the design space. If the hull wasn’t so stubby then maybe those strakes would have worked better, but the starting point was such a weird shape that it seems like he was fighting that throughout.
The flared trim tabs were interesting

Not that I think that it would have fixed the design but not changing the dual tow points to a single in the middle is weird he overlooked.
I feel that a mid tow point more yaws the boogie left/right while these must more seriously pull the craft down on that side which makes the other side lift way more and prop ventilates.
The hull shape might have worked if the motorpods where deeper and more to the middle and a mid tow point on a boom.

Yup, starting with a conventional tow boogie and then exploring would have at least been useful to us, I was really hopeful watching it that there would be a breakthrough on stability in rough water
Interesting design with a roll bar.
This shape is close to what I’d do if I had the means to shape a custom hull.
