willardsboatwor... Since I was 3 years old I've wanted this. My dad showed me the way that took him over 30 years to master. The boat curvature allows it to tilt in turns instead of slide. Traps on side and back control the tilt and plane of the boat on the water. It is a balancing act on the back of the boat. You do not need power tilt and trim. I set the boat up where it is always trimmed out all the time. There is a turnbuckle in the back on the floor. That will equalized the water pressure under the boat. It will not jump around on you. It will get up out the water just as easy as you want. It is a very smooth ride. These strip boat will tilt 45 degrees or more in a turn. It is kind of boat is one of seven different kinds ranging from 9' to 14' in length and 22" to 46" in width. With 1/4 to 5/8 concave, 4" to 10" pad on bottom or just a flat bottom fishing boat. On high end tunnel boat have 1" to 3" round tunnel, 4" to 12" pad on bottom. Each boat is one of a kind being handmade to customer's preference.
