Default A question for NoFearEngineer...

You comment on another post got my mind to thinking...

If it were to extend just under the water line , it might "spray" air bubbles out to the sides, it would increase the turbulence under the pad, which always adds speed.
So if that's true then I'm guessing that if you glued 1,000 or so Alka Seltzer tablets to the hull of your boat would you be able to get it on plane?

Oh, it's been a long boring day, I just had to do something to break up the monotony.

I was thinking of a honey comb design that holds air and reduces friction.

I'm really not sure. However, it would have probably been easier to test the theory when your boat was in drydock getting all those holes patched.
