should have blocked those air ducts and repeat the tests.. :)

30mph with two 225 floating on fart bubbles 🌬 looks like fun! It would have been even more exciting seeing the Miss America 9 blasting past at 70mph with a stepped hull, they knew how to make them back then 😂

Thanks, what a beauty

@thosoz3431 6 лет назад

Looks good but with no definitive fuel use etc comparisons ? Infomercial

I thought up this bill design 20 years ago for airboats!!!!!

@SamPaguaga 6 лет назад

Don't think this was a good comparison as there was nothing to compare to like for example the exact same boat with a typical Hull.

@MrCR500AF 4 года назад

Sales video disquised as a test,they didn't even block the air scoops off to do an an A/B performance comparison

@sadenuttie2234 2 года назад

@@MrCR500AF wouldn’t really be a fair test, as the hull has been modified significantly. You would need to have a boat of the exact same size and weight with the different hull to compare properly

@Profabdesigns 5 лет назад

The US Navy tried this same design on the old flying Ducks, and failed miserably. At a certain speeds the just the opposite effect happens. It creates a vacuum effect causing. The hull to remain planted and therefore increase in fuel usage. There has not really been anything new developed in boating in almost 50-60 yrs. Manufacturers have no desire or motivation to as the bulk of the boating market died when the economy crashed in 07-09’ and still never has recovered. Yes, those old rich guys in Miami still will keep trying to out do one another, but that’s about it.

@sadenuttie2234 2 года назад

It works great on my boat. Don’t know what you are talking about

@danielnicholls6868 4 месяца назад

should run the air intakes back into low bilge area. will suck out any water and fumes when under way just have a high spot in line well above waterline

@fredvizzan2199 Год назад

This video is detailed but he did not mention the real fuel reduction comparted to an equal boat ! Is there a real reduction with the air lubrification of the hull or just a softer feeling in boat handling ?

@jackd5650 4 года назад

Can you get a 300 instead of twin 150’s?

With all that air how does a transducer work ?

@johnmackey4639 4 года назад

Did you test one motor verce two

@scottsampson726 6 лет назад

One would think that cavitation would occur with air introduced.

@learrus 5 лет назад

I've been kicking around ideas like this lately for improving performance on my electric motor

@dontaskme9047 5 лет назад

It probably won't work because your propeller needs to move the water so separating it from the water would be a bad idea.

前面兩個進水口為什麼那麼小呢??

@SaveThePurpleRhino 6 лет назад

Does the air forced drawn by itself or by some kind of compressor ? And on high speed turn does the stern slides excessively since it is air lubed?

@sadenuttie2234 2 года назад

Drawn in by itself

@adrianrubi5012 Год назад

Is this design used for the Swift Trawler?

@kimdebbie4122 5 лет назад

This is what large freighters do to save fuel and increase speed. And no the props don’t suck air, causing cavitation. The reason is the propellers are below the air in clear water. I don’t know the boat builder here but I’ve been in the boat building industry for 38 years and this hydrodynamics 102 in play. Modern hydroplanes use this kind of technology. So l would have to say to you boys that built this hull good job! I hope you sell a boat load of these and laugh all the way to the bank.

@myperspective5091 6 лет назад

I remember people kicking this idea around back in the late 90s early 2000s.

@jimmascaro2456 5 лет назад

Applying for transfer to U Michigan (Naval architecture & marine systems engineering degree - bachelors). Fell in love with lofting in a wooden boat bldg class I took in Sausalito, Ca. Since then have spent a few seasons working on sportfishing boats. Now I want to design saltwater hulls in the 22' & up out of modern materials & techniques designed for nearshore & offshore fishing. Any advice for someone starting a formal education? Where might you suggest I intern in my summer months when I transfer to UMich? Thank you.

@SydneyBuilder 6 месяцев назад

Finish your degree?

@alessandrobacci7835 4 года назад

In order to say if a bottom is efficient or not, we need to know Keith and Crouch numbers. Can you supply that? Aletrnatively you can tell me all the data of the tested boats so that I can calculate the coefficient. Thank you!

@BeneteauAmerica 4 года назад

Hi Alessandro,, in order to share numbers directly with you, do you mind contacting us through private chat here: www.beneteau.com/us/get-on-board-with-us Thanks

@ardcost1 7 лет назад

Dose the Air step add to cavitation at the propeller?

@myperspective5091 6 лет назад

I don't think so because the bubbled stick to the hull.

@gradyturner3367 2 года назад

i asked same same.... cant disagree with My Perspective either good answer

@Slycarlo 5 лет назад

Why they just dont put the exhaust of the engine on the air step design rather than drawing it out from outside on the bigger model

@fitrianhidayat 2 года назад

I'm guessing that it would polluted the water

Does the Antares series utilize the AriStep feature?

@BeneteauAmerica 4 года назад

Hi Rob, The Antares 27 is the only Antares from the range to have the Airstep® hull that cuts gently through the waves offering a comfortable ride and safe navigation.

@maxszhao 5 лет назад

I was thinking you going to use pressured air. I just don't think the air has enough pressure or volume to go there and do anything useful.

@carmelpule6954 5 лет назад

Nope. Not at all

@jason7t7 2 года назад

Notice no data on fuel consumption. That says alot.

@gradyturner3367 2 года назад

how does this effect cavitation of the prop or water pump? obviously im just being overcritical? im not disputing the advantages im only a dumb country boy that loves his ghetto sunbird with a 30 yo evinrude askin a question
