Had a strange little Flipper step near the stern and a 28 degree vee.
Hull design was by Sigaard Isaacsson.

Flipper
Ben,
I guess she was good in the rough what with 28 degrees of deadrise - did she aslo seem to keep her nose down well - i.e. didn't launch off waves too much??? Would be interested to hear any comments you have about her handling as that is an interesting 'flipper' step!

Incredibly good rough water boat. She would also run 65mph or so in race trim.
According to the Flipper blurb, (I was selling them at the time), it wasn't a step in the truest sense. The aftermost section of the hull was higher than it was forward. It actually acted as a notched transom as it allowed the motors to be mounted higher hence less drag.
According to Flipper, the second benefit was that it came onto the plane more quickly as the aftermost section would contact the water as the boat rose onto the plane and force the boat down. That's what I seem to remember anyway.
Also the boat carried the bow very well. Perhaps these choppers were the reason.

Thanks Ben,
Don't suppose you have any pictures of her running? - anyone?
Did those trim tabs work? - just made me think perhaps that aft surface was in the water or very close to it whilst underway??

Was a production 'cruiser' in the truest sense.
Slept two in the forward cabin.

I'll search around for some running shots.
Good point about the trim tabs. If the boat was doing what is was designed to do they should have been ineffective.
Great - now I'm also going to have to search for all my old Flipper brochures!

John, they have a 'very' warped deadrise, so whilst deep at the transom, the bow had an extremely fine entry.
A very pitch stable boat in a big seaway.
