Modified rocker curvature for more waterline, more displacement fore and aft while less draft, tiny adjustments though. The curvature graph of the new rocker is far nicer than the old one, much smoother with less control points of course. The rocker mod came together with a new hull section profile, a blunt V shape, but again smoother and much fair. Learned that it is best to have the transoms wet and powered rig than having reserve buoyancy aft, thus supposed dry transom without drag. More hull evolution to come probably. While foam is still out of the question because of price, I'm considering stressed plywood vs strip plank or partial strip plank with ply. New hull will have smoother and better defined curvature, probably easier to control for stressed ply.
