    This is a little toy I have been daydreaming about lately, 33ft Sport boat.

    Sorry about the sizing of that lines drawing I thought I had it right, but I guess not

    Good looking boat! Maybe a little too flat aft part of the hull for higher speeds, but around 18-20 knots she will probably perform just fine.

    This hull shape is more often used in a bigger size, like 50 feet where the displacement is softening the ride.

    Interesting you comment on the speed that is exactly the speed I was intending for cruise, max around 25 26. And if I every build it, it will most likely be used on a lake near my house.

    The form of the hull bottom got my attention too. Appears to be low prismatic coefficient, does this mean it's meant to be a semi-displacement design?

    As for the styling, that is certainly a proud bow. But I wonder if the helmsman can see over it?

    Basic concept of the vessel is that it is maximum trailerable size in New South Wales. Is relatively ecconomical and can handle a nasty bay chop. Hense the fine entry, shallow deadrise aft and the high flared bow.

    With a pair of 125 hp Yanmars or similar she would comfortably cruise at 20 knots with a top end of 25-26 knots.

    The otherthing you can't see in the pictures it that there is a step between the engines and that the forward cockpit deck is raised, so when standing at the helm " stbd fwd " you will be able to see over the bow, when seated the view will not be obsured but not great
